buying cars over long distances question

lol....

7:00pm I loaded up my 07 Hemi Ram with basic tools, hooked onto a Uhaul autotransport trailer, loaded up a fullsize 78' J-code Dodge D150 and hauled *** 12.5 hours one way into the DFW area, pulled in at 5:30am...crashed out at a Kroger Supermarket parking lot....woke up with the 7:35am sunlight in our faces.....went to Whataburger grabbed a Bisquit and Gravy and headed to sellers house to pick up 74 Dart Sport at 8:30. Unloaded truck, looked at the Dart Sport...made about 15 circles around it....kicked the tires,...checked the fluids....cranked it up....looked it all over.....went for a 3-5 mile drive...came back loaded it up. Signed the paperwork and hit the highway for the next 12.5 hour haul.....24 hours driving, gone from home 30 hours.



cost me right at $700 to round trip, fuel, trailer, food, smokes, drinks ect.

Great roadtrip when its for the right reason/car.

7 hours would be short fun.

I've done this same type of thing several times. Won some, lost some.
It is starting to become part of the fun.
I even bought a tow-dolly for the closer ones.
Did my homework, got a good deal, and hey, it's just plain nice to have.
