In both cases, I committed to buy the car unseen, then flew one way to buy it and drive it home. If the owner is not a member of this forum OR one of our Facebook pages, I'd tread carefully. If they are a member, have someone local go look it over and go from there.
Idiot is too weak a word. Perhaps I'd loan you my avatar.
Hmm the seller in this case is a dealership—bought out someone who owned it in Nevada—I’m going to try and head back to Cali soon and maybe fly up to test it out first. It’s about ~400 miles away from me, but if it can sit on the lot for another month, I can figure all that out. I know the sales guy obviously is going to say it drives well, with the except that it is an ‘04. But I don’t know anyone on this forum or Facebook in Sacramento, maybe I can try and find someone there to test it before I get it.
Thanks
