     It was dead reliable, I eventually donated it to the Red Cross when
     I left
     for Europe and it is probably still running today somewhere!

   A I didn't realize that bidders got to test drive cars. A  I always
   thought
   that cars bought at auction were based only on what you're told and
   what you
   see. A  That is why I would never consider buying a car at an auction.
