I'm not trying to be a smartazz, but in all manner of auto-related message boards, I can't tell you how many times I have seen people post pictures of cars they're considering buying... and people on the message board say "looks great... but be sure to have it fully checked out before you buy it."
Sometimes people take the advice, sometimes they don't. Some say, "I
decided to go ahead and
take a chance because I
really like it and
the guy said somebody else was looking at it and/or about to buy it out from under me."
And then they find bad stuff when they check the car out.
I hope your car turns out to be trouble-free and fun and everything you hoped it would be, but....
...unless I misunderstood your post, you did it backwards. Next time check it out
before buying it.
Either that, or you could just skip the checking it out step.
