Project Wrap Up

We paid around $200 for the car and about $100 for the tow home. Straightening out the title cost another $100 or so and about a year of back and forth with the DMV. Not fun. Next time we’ll go the bonded title route. We also spent around $150 or so on miscellaneous parts and we had a set of tires laying around. All told we had around $450 into the car and passed it on to an enthusiastic teenager (with full disclosure of all it’s quirks) for $1200.00. LONG LIVE FIERTO!

The end.
