begin at the begining

I'm a bit late on this first post, but better late than never.
I purchased the roundie from a guy named David in North Hills (San Fernando Valley), he had listed this little car a few time previously on Craigslist and it was always a bit more than I could afford. Apparently not that many others could afford it at that price either because he kept relisting it. Finally the price was lowered another 500 bucks and I thought I'd make my move. I contacted David, who ended up being a pretty young guy, and arranged a test drive. I had already seen a pretty informative video he had posted on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLkBWS-t-T8 so I was pretty much ready to drop the hammer on this deal. I ended up getting her for a fair price, however there were some items conveniently not brought up and maybe some just a bit untrue. for instance, I had asked if the wipers worked, and just needed the wiper arms, David said that the motor worked and it just needed the arms, weeks later i took the motor out and realized it hadn't been used in years, so thats one thing, also I asked about the temperature gauge, and he said that worked as well. That would be hard to do considerening, A) the wire from the sensor was cut, and B) the sensor itself was dead. But I let all of that slide for one main reason, well actually two. The first being that I could probably fix all of that eventually and second and more importantly the car drives like hell. It seriously is a little beast. I also had to tow this little beast home, on account of its super old cracked tires it was running, I probably could've driven it home but I probably would've had a blow out and that might've been the end of it and me. This is it for now, but more again real soon,,,maybe even later tonight, i'm fighting a cold and i'm going nuts right now.
