Better the cost of a plane ticket than the cost of a whole car! Sadly, I have yet to learn that lesson... TOW was the first of 5 cars which I've purchased online in which I actually received what I expected. We found a few small things, but for the most part, the seller was honest with me.

Certainly better than the 7k mile C5 which I received with corded front tires and keyed scratch marks, or the 'rust free' second gen Camaro from Arizona that I'd swear was a demo-derby car at one point (not a straight panel on it), or the red Firebird that was the original car for TOW that had all sorts of rust that wasn't described. Hopefully never again (I say that now as I'm watching an eBay auction on a potential project...).
