Here's a link to my "Experience" in buying a Car without viewing it in person and Trusting the words of the "Seller".........I can laugh about it now, but......It was a learning experience in dealing with a Guy with a Car rather than dealing with a Car Guy..........Warning.....do not open the thread unless you have some time to kill.....

That was mint condition to some people. That's the problem, everyone's opinion is so different on what is nice and not nice, you can never tell without seeing it in person. Disappointing deal, and not a rare story for sure. But it's really a great car now.

During the Hot Rod Power Tour I got hooked up with the Dakota Digital guys and had my car in their display booth daily (Actually Charley paid them off).......and they felt sorry for me and decided to use the "Beater" in some of their advertising.....LOL....Here a proof they forwarded..........
