I bought my last two off of eBay. The Olympus D380 was a big disappointment (though Boss owns a newer model and it works splendidly). It refused to focus correctly under 2', and that's where a lot of my photos occur.
Then I bought a Ricoh RDC-5300 (one model newer than the 5200 I'd bought several years before, and which had been stolen). I don't recommend that model -- it's a very fussy camera and quite slow and proprietary interface, etc. -- but I already knew how to use it and I couldn't pass up the price: $75. I had paid $700 for the 5200. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
It's only a 2.3MP rig, and it takes acceptably good pictures for what I want to do. I could buy a better camera -- hell, camera phones have better resolution than that these days -- but then I wouldn't be able to buy turbochargers, so that's that. I live with the slow, finicky Ricoh. Don't buy one, unless you are corrigible.
In this picture you can see I have seat covers on the front two seats. The reason why is both of them are ripped and the yellow insides will get chewed up more the more you sit on them. I need to get replacement seats that are a light grey color from somewhere.
Lynnwood JY had a quite nice pair of grey ones, could have purchased both for something like $50. I think that car is gone by now though. And the shipping thing would kill you. I was tempted to buy them myself, as my '82 Wagon has that color interiour, but my seats' fabric are in good shape -- it's the cushions that are getting flat (hurt my back).
