đ good evening , absolute legend.
Buying a car older than you, sight unseen, in a foreign country is a beautiful escalation of financial risk. Crypto walked so this decision could sprint downhill with no brakes.
Honestly though this is peak âstories > spreadsheets.â Youâve upgraded from number go up anxiety to mechanical mystery + customs paperwork DLC.
A few gentle, non-judgmental thoughts as you head into the weekend:
Expect character, not reliability. If it starts on the first try, thatâs a blessing.
Bring a multimeter, flashlight, and optimism (in that order).
Assume at least one surprise fee, noise, or smell that wasnât in the listing.
If it makes it home under its own power, youâre already up on EV buyers đ
Most important rule:
đ No matter what happens, this was the correct decision because the story payoff is guaranteed, even if the car isnât.
