    Possible new member of the herd

    If everything checks out , that is a good price for a" ride and drive ' as they say . It's worth the money just for the good sheet metal alone , plus some of the mechanicals have been done already . If you do purchase the MV , just go through the vehicle as usual and you should be good to go . :grd:
