Vehicle Purchased From Soldier Abroad

Far from home while deployed in the army in Afghanistan, Wesley McCracken was nevertheless able to prepare for his return home while still abroad.

In need of transportation, he browsed the Internet looking for a car.  He found a 2006 Pontiac GTO at Parsons Buick in Plainville that caught his eye.
