Possibly getting a free '93 Ninety Eight in Chicago area

My Brother in Law called yesterday telling me his church friend has been offered a free '93 Ninety Eight with only 40,000 miles garage kept. I think an uncle passed and left it to his nephew here in Dallas. Anyway I was asked about it's value and worth getting it. I said any free Oldsmobile is worth it. IF THIS TURNS OUT to be something the guy gets I was wondering if I could offer him some help from someone in the Chicago area should he need it. I am not sure if he will get it, not sure if he will fly up and try to drive it back, not sure if he will drive up with a truck/trailer and tow it back. Just wanted to reach out to members here and be able to offer him some help if he decides one way or the other. I would relay any interested info to him, this might be a way to assist a future Oldsmobile owner and possible site member.

I have to be honest. Some of the most expensive cars I've owned are ones I got for free...

Often times there is a reason they are free.

This applies to cars, guns, stereos, boats, women, and dogs.

Yes that can be true, you never know when to stop in the case of "But it was free".
