He wanted you to do all the work so even if you didn't wind up buying it -
buddy would still be ahead of the game at someone else's expense. Value
added. Slimy...but shrewd. Buckwheat fully realizes that "Good, Hard,
Honest Work Built America!" -- he just wants to make sure it's someone
else's. :)

And only 9000 bucks. Probably because he's including all that genuine
military Ford M35 synthetic oil at no extra charge. Reminds me of an ad in
"Military Vehicles" magazine featuring a "fully-restored military vehicle -
the best genuine WWII M37 you'll find!" Neat trick. Wonder if he was
going to throw in the time-machine too.
