[Entm-researchstaff] Looking for vehicular options

[Robin Doyle Testa]

The following message forwarded on behalf of Doug Yanega.



Hi, all. I was just notified today that my car of 15 years is not going

to move again unless it gets a new engine, which would cost at least as

much as the car itself is worth. Thanks to the pandemic, the market

right now for used cars is horribly overpriced, and many new car dealers

have little in stock (possibly meaning months waiting to get a desired

car). I am therefore looking for options, at least in the short term,

among which is seeing if anyone in the department has a field-capable

car they might be willing to sell to a desperate colleague at a

non-pandemic price. I would be grateful if anyone who might be able to

help could contact me privately (dyanega at gmail.com<mailto:dyanega at gmail.com> preferred) with some

details. I have a little grace period to work with (I have a loaner I

can get to and from work with), but I can't take too long to figure

something out.



Thanks,
