Then go give him the $12k and then look it over and see if he will give you money back! I know that sounds mean, but don't do the thinking with your heart or you'll have a $7-8k car you paid 10-12k for. I like the car, but unless this thing is pristine I wouldn't pay the asking price. Definitely not based off the photos in the ad. Always check out the sr in person or have someone do it for you, even if you pay them a small fee, that money can save you a lot down the road. I've heard too many stories of "well it looked good in the pictures so I bought it" ending with lots of complaints about shody work, missing pieces, etc that weren't mentioned by the seller. Maybe there's an issue the seller doesn't know about. My point is to always look at or have someone look at the car. And have them take pictures, I take 200-300 when looking at vehicles for others.
