Steve: Where did you find this car ? Be very careful buying a car sight unseen. Most sellers do not care about anything but selling the car.I have had several experiences buying cars online and really have never been burnt.How far is the car from you ? I just bought a car in Chicago and flew out from Oregon and drove it home. I had checked out several transporters before I made the decision.If I had arrived in Chicago and found a piece of junk, I could have changed my mind .There is nothing worse than looking at your new car coming off of a transporter and saying to yourself "WTF did I do to deserve this?" But for the price of a round trip ticket it may be worth just flying out and looking @ it before the final sale. Then you can have it transported. As far as transportation , do not just take the lowest bid. Make sure whoever hauls your car has a good history.Ask us in here about car haulers. I had a horrible experence when I had my Chevelle moved several years ago. The car disappeared for 14 days and when I received it, the insurance company for the transporter ended up writing me a check for $3500.00.

It seems to be a good deal. I've seen pictures and talked with the owner. Due to the distance involved I'm considering buying this car sight unseen. I can afford the asking price and have lined up getting the car transported (open carrier). I know there must be some risk involved. Do any group members know a way to guide me through the process? Paperwork, title transfer, any taxes, etc. (I realize things vary from state to state) I've never bought a car on line. Can anyone help with the pitfalls and cautions I should follow. I've really got my heart set on this car. ANY help, past experiences, etc. would be great. SteveZL1
