No way I'm buying a 911 sight unseen....I've done a couple of look-sees for Pelicans before....one was a misrepresented turd for a Canadian. I found mine 500 miles away....round-trip tickets are cheap...it was as advertised....drove her home...
I'm a picky SOB....heard too many horror stories....YMMV
Funds transfer....I took a cashiers check from my small credit union back then...no mas.
Do a wire transfer from a major bank that's on both ends....or a cashiers check....Well Fargo, Bank of America, etc. I hate them bastids (worked for both
), but they can be useful....good luck!
