Deals can be made if you have one (or more) of these things going in your favor:
1. Right-place, right-time.
2. Persistance
3. CASH on hand and the ability to move quickly.
Every project vehicle I have ever purchased, I paid less than $1,000 cash even though they were worth way more at the time I purchased them. The trick is you can't be in a hurry and you have to be patent . . . very patent.
Awesome story, congrats on the new rig.
