X2 on all the above. A couple of things to think about. If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. There are precious few screaming deals to be had anywhere. Yes, give a shout-out for some local help off the forum. I'd trust a pair of FABO eyes far sooner than what a seller tells me. Watch for bad spelling, syntax, punctuation, capitalization, etc in the description. While we all have different levels of competence in life skills, tortured English is a red flag. Don't agree to a bank-to-bank transfer. Insist on an exact address where the car can be found, along with a name and phone number for the seller. And above all, pay attention to your spidey-sense. If something smells funny pass on the deal. I just this week passed on a killer 65 Belvedere because it was priced WAY too low, the seller wouldn't respond with how to get a local person to inspect it, and payment was requested as bank-to-bank instead of cashier's check or cash as listed in the ad. The email response to questions looked like it was written by a second grader. I hope the guy that bought it really winds up with the car - I don't think it will ever appear.
