Ive done it so many times i forgot how many....only burned once...not really burned..but not what it was advertised as.....on a 71 Superbee...it hurt too..was my dream car...a Go-Green 4 speed car...was advertised as rust free and it wasnt..

i ask for lots of pics..if they stop or get aggravated by me asking questions and requesting pics..i move on..i always make a phone call..i cant do anything with email or texts back and forth..

most people are good people..i always google their name...i never bought from a dealer..always a private enthusiast..

I have done this a number of times as well. Agreed on private ownership being a better scenario as I can put on my detective hat and research their name, place of employment, google maps etc.. video of car starting and running is vital. Depending on the dollar value of the car will dictate the need to see it in person. I’d rather spend the money on a flight, hotel than get bamboozled. I have purchased 50 year old cars as well as new cars via this method and happy to report I have been treated fairly.
