Like I said factory AC and drums all around are sort of a deal breaker for me. I would reduce the value of this car making it what I want to drive, and spending $$$$ on top of the purchase price.
The customer is always right, and we all have different deal breakers and must haves. It's absolutely cheaper in the end to buy exactly what you want, without compromising. I've finally done it. Problem is I didn't get the chance to buy the exact car until I was 69 years old, and that was a long shot. I still enjoyed the six others I owned in the meantime. My wife did lay down one rule after the prices went over $40K - had to be a GTX, nothing else, even if it was a Mopar. She knew from experience, I'd get itchy if I didn't check that box first.
