I bought a distance car... Posted by Randy Thatcher [Email] (#22) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Randy Thatcher) on Tue, 13 Aug 2002 14:17:37 In Reply to: Daily driver for me, pajjammn, Tue, 13 Aug 2002 14:09:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My SPG is from about 250 miles away. That's enough to make it a hassle. What's more, I was stupid, looked at it on a weekend, and coulnd't get it to a mechanic. I brought it back for a pile of work, and then became a shadetree mechanic (out of necessity). It's been running like a champ after a lot of TLC.
My lesson learned, I'll only buy fairly close to home for a daily driver. I'll always get used cars inspected by a trusted mechanic. Also, if you buy sight unseen you're unable to assess little things that will help you in the negotiation. "Jeez, that interior could use some dressing up, how about knocking 200 bucks off?" You know how that goes.
buyer beware. never trust the seller.
