What do you see wrong with that? otoh, I doubt many people tooling around in their 1985 Oldsmobiles laying down a cloud of smoke from the 500 miles per quart oil consumption and the worn out 4 barrel will take advantage of the plan. I see it as a great way for people to unload the Navigator they can't really afford and get into a Toyota. The Lincoln Navagator sells about 1,400/month in a good year and most owners don't care about the mileage or they'd not have purchased it to begin with. The 1985 Oldsmobile had fuel injection, not a carb. -- Regards, Curly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 133 C Street SE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
