As Herr Doktor says is true. I would like to point out that it is a lot
cheaper to risk making a mistake with a kaleb car or a $2500 car or even a
$5000 car than to make a mistake with a "collectable" car that sells in the
30k to 500k range or more.
I have made a couple of mistakes with $1000 cars, but it didn't kill me and
I am not crying over it. I figure it is all "tuition" we pay for the
education.

You seem to imagine that the prices being asked and given actually
correlate with the car's condition. Sometimes they do, but often cars
sell for MUCH more or less than logic would suggest. Who's to say that
the seller knows anything about the value of the car to anyone but
him/herself?
You need to be able to reliably determine the condition of the car and
then pay no more than it's worth TO YOU. Then you're in charge. If you
don't have the skill and knowledge to do that, the risk is very great.
