I think what you originally did was use reverse psychology. By making it seem like I wouldn't find what I wanted, it actually made it easier. You're a genius!!

Frankly I paid more than I wanted, but then again I feel as if I had unreal expectations going into it. That being said, $8K from a private owner. He was 200 miles away and wanted $9K, but I said I'd only make the trip if he'd take $8K. At first he outright said no. Then he called back and said $8,500, to which I said no. Then he said his absolutely bottom dollar price was $8,250. I kindly thanked him for his time to which he replied, "Ok, you've got a green light for $8K. Now come get the damn thing before I decide to keep it!" He was seriously cool about the entire deal.

And yes, I realize pics are essential. Lemme get her a little cleaned up before I do.

Oh, and no rear locker, but I'm NOT complaining.

Yes, yes, and yes. The front driver seat is gonna need cleaned x10, but I'll get it done; damn leather. And the sunroof, man, that thing is awesomely huge (That's what she said.).

Truly, I'm psyched at my new (to me) purchase. No remorse (yet).

I'm glad there's someone that's more irrational about vehicle purchases than I am! Good job on finding what you wanted! Now, no lift and no dents!
Finally,

Truly, that sums it up. I mostly wanted it for resale/desirability. Sure it would've been neat, but my need for it was virtually nill.

I'm getting dangerously close to actually getting pics. I spent more time then I'd like to admit debadging her last night. I might have to take her to a body shop/detailer to get the remaining adhesive "outline" removed. I've tried Goo Gone, WD-40, and some light rubbing compound...I can still see where they were. And I still have to take the friggin' pinstripes off.

Oh yeah, I'll have to get a new grill emblem and one for the rear hatch too.
