[DML] Re: Getting Ready to Buy

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've thought the same thing - if a particular car is potentially 
worth $15,000+, and worth paying someone $750 to truck it across the 
country, why isn't it worth a $250 plane ticket to see it first? It 
may turn out to be your best investment in the car, especially if you 
decide that the seller is lying and you avoid a 5-figure headache.

Buying blind might be worth the risk on a non-running/parts car, but 
if you are buying what you expect to be a good-excellent condition 
car, you, or a very trusted advisor, need to see it first.

With some shopping and flexibilty about flying at odd times, there 
are not many places you can't get to on the cheap.

out in two weeks and drive it home to IL.)

cross country to me, and shipped one with 81 miles on it all the way 
to Switzerland, all with no problems.
