    So here it goes.. I'm Chris, and I'm in Rossville, GA. I had a Maverick before, it was a '71, but I fell on hard times and had to sell it. I loved that car. I just bought a '72 Maverick today......http://nwga.craigslist.org/cto/2305251203.html
    I paid $1800 for it. He originally wanted $2200. The interior is in good shape. The front seat has a few tears, but that's it. There is minimal rust, and it is all surface. It doesn't leak anything, and everything is all original. If you want you can look at the pics on the link. In your opinion, do you guys think it was a good deal?
    If you are around the Chattanooga/Rossville area, and have a Maverick hit me up.

    Welcome to the forum and welcome back to the world of the Ford Maverick. Hard to say anything about the vehicle deal you got without seeing more pics. People have paid more for less vehicle as well as less for more vehicle. Since your name is on the pink slip I'd just resign myself to "the deal is done" and your back!

    Welcome from Hendersonville TN.
    Judging from the pictures,it looks like you got a decent deal.
    Now its up to you as to what you turn it in to. In any case arm yourself with lots of patience and money too. You'll need it and you'll enjoy the ride. Again, welcome to the forum and may I say, the best forum there is!
