I've been taught from a young age that nothing comes free or easy in life. Basically, if I wanted any other car, I'd have to buy it on someone's terms, this isn't any different. She won't, in good conscience, sell a car she knows is in that kind of shape.

I am taking it for those reasons. I have most of the skills needed to fix the truck, and learning how to fix the break line wouldn't hurt. The parts aren't all that expensive, the truck is absolutely worthless in its current position, it just takes up space, and wouldn't be worth more than a few hundred dollars even fixed up. She has a guaranteed buyer, the truck will no longer be useless, and I will have a truck. Even though I am getting a poor deal, everyone comes out satisfied.
