It reminds me of way back when I bought a 1978 930 out of Panorama (before the Internet grew to what it is today). At the time I asked the seller for photos, but the seller did not have any (he was two States away). I asked him if he could perhaps take some - and mail them to me. But... He said he did not have a camera... So I asked him if he would take some photos with a disposable camera (available anywhere) and send them to me. He said no. So I asked if he would take some photos with a disposable camera that I would mail him - then send me the photos. He thought about it, then said that he would take photos with the camera I sent, but that he would not develop them. So... I finally asked that if I sent him a camera ~ if he would use it, then stick it in a pre-paid envelope that I would provide, and send it back so I could develop them. He said yes.
Thats how it went down. I got the camera back after a week & a half and developed some awful photos. But they were jussssst enough for me to decide to put the time in & drive over 12 hours to buy the car.
Those were the days 'eh?
We can never say its bad today when it used to be really bad then.

Sometimes a deal can be had with someone who is too surly to put any effort into selling his car.
