Where can I find a $250.00 car that will criss cross the United States? Not only are these guys gay, black, muslim, serial killers....but shrewd appraisers of automobiles.

At one point earlier in this whole mess I read that Muhammad had worked as an auto or truck mechanic--sounded as though he was a 'shade tree' mechanic in his earlier life.

His first wife stated, on a LKL interview, that he was a welder when they got married. Those two skills would help him keep that vehicle going over those long trips.

If you believe they paid $250.00 for the Caprice, I have a bridge I can sell you...

$250.00 is about what you would pay to have a hunk of junk towed to the nearest scrap heap -- applied to a working automobile in the New Jersey area, it might get you the back seat.

The dealer wrote it up for $250.00 (cash) and pocketed the rest, in all probability.
