Barry,
It would be great if you could give Joe Miller a call and look at the
vehicle for me. I just want confirmation that it exists and is in good
shape. The are a lot of scammers out there....
Here is his number again (Joe: (503) 545-5101)


If you get a good sense from this gentleman by talking to him in person
it would certainly give me more confidence. 

I will call Joe and tell him to expect a call from you.
It would be nice if you could match the VIN in this e-mail with the
actual vehicle :-) .....VIN : wvgpt77l26d059269

Barry, I would be quite happy to compensate you for your time!!
Your valued opinion will provide me with a sense of comfort.

Hein   PS. I wonder about Joe driving this thing through the current
tornado territory in the north central USA. CNN doesn't paint a pretty
picture.
