And oh yeah, never be uncomfortable with inspecting with implements of destruction - as they won't hurt a car that's solid. I used to be really into old Series Land Rovers (still am) particularly the Series IIA. The chassis is usually a problem area. I used to bring a hammer with me to check the chassis. No joke. People never had a problem. The Land Rover series ladder chassis can take a serious hit and never dent if it's solid. And the chassis on my 109 got hit a lot and never dented.
Just be super nice to the guy and win him over. Threats won't get you anywhere. You seem pretty level headed and I think you'll prevail.
