I was telling the guy how nice the car was and how I had seen ones not as nice going for more and so on. The only reason he was selling the car was because the big chain auto stores were putting a hurt on his owner-operated store. Anyway he backed out and I lost out, $20,000 today it would be worth $50,000

I did get the next best thing to a 49 to 51 imo that is a 54.
