I bought my SC in Kansas City. I found the car in December, and contacted the owner; he sent pictures and a scan of a recent engine rebuild sheet. I emailed him quite a few times, and got a good idea of who he was. He was very forthcoming the whole time, which put me at ease.

I posted on Pelican to see if anyone would look at the car for me, I got a few offers, but it never really came to that. The owner of the car took it to a mechanic for me, and I got a PPI ($400) and the car passed with flying colors. The owner of the shop actually asked me 'how much I was buying the car for." Nice try, dude.

I had a special circumstance and decided I would buy the car, but could not pick it up until MARCH, (three months later.) I offered to send $500 earnest money, so he would know I was serious. If I backed out when the time came to get the car, he would keep the $500.

He agreed and I sent him the check. Mind you by this time I knew his home address, work address, his wife's work address, his home/cell phone, and his work/home email.

I went and picked up the car in March, and the guy was just great, and I still talk to him today. Drove the car 700 miles home, and it was a fantastic experience and the car is worth every penny and more.
