Newbie Intro / May Be Buying a Corona

Hey..

Craig here and probably a Corona owner after tonight.

My mom had a 1981 silver Toyota Corona since new for 24 years. I grew up with this car back in Tennessee. At 14 I started coasting it out of the driveway and going on midnight drives.. < I finally admitted it a few years ago > Mom stopped driving about 4 years ago and my sister sold the Corona with 56,XXX miles on it.
Anyhow, my mother passed away this past May and of course since then many memories have been running through my mind..

So...... Saturday I am on my way to a car show through a small town and THERE IT WAS.. I had to stop and turn around.. A 1981 Silver Toyota Corona just like the one I grew up with. The only difference is this one has black vinyl and ours had maroon. The exterior is EXACTLY like ours down to the hub caps.. This thing is in REALLY good condition with no rust etc.
The owner is looking for 1500.00 and it has 155,000 on the ticker. It honestly looks more like it has 55,000.. These things really hold up well!

Below are some pics.. Wish me luck!
