That's true,
Bob, but when it comes to my Chrysler I have a frightening so-what attitude.
When I found my Saratoga on eBay after a LONG search, I promptly tore up that
month's mortgage check and bought the car. No regrets to this day. I wish I
could find someone at Daimler Chrysler who would care so I could tell them my
98 Sebring convertible was a piece of garbage, but my 60 Saratoga is the last
car I will ever own.
About shipping, it cost me $1200 to have the entire
car shipped enclosed door-to-door from Chicago to Orange County CA. You're
right, it's just a fact of life, but money well
spent.
