Re: purchase question? Whats a fair price?
One thing to watch out for is sellers on the dry side west coast (Cali, AZ, NM, NV) selling desert rigs at a higher price. They are usually cancer free, but have surface rust, and faded original paint. Surface rust and faded paint is refered to as "patina". The patina fad is all the rage right now, and cats are lining up to pay top dollar for rigs that aren't even worth half the asking price.
Just something to be aware of.
