If you want to put it in an enclosed truck where they'll really take care of it, plan on spending at least 1500.

Its not that nice of a road trip. Plus breaking in a car at steady RPM's is no good.

Don't buy a car from FL. I think there is another state too, but can't remember. Something about being able to falsely clear a salvage title.
