If your buying out of state and spent airfair to get there don't be afraid to walk. While it may cost you a couple of hundred bucks to get back home it's better than buying something that you don't want. Earlier in the year I had flown to LA to look at a 2001 Proton and while it looked good the papers were a little fishy and the owner was even fishier. I walked. Did I make the right choice? Who knows although I am glad I did. Later this summer I flew to Houston to pick up 2000 Ebony. The seller had emailed me pictures and pointed out every flaw she new in those pics. She made the vehicle look and sound worse than it was. I left Denver thinking I would end up spending a few more bucks to get home but the Ebony turned out better that expected, in fact way better. 17.5 hours later I was back home in
Denver in my new, to my family, Ebony. Any way, my wife and I now have a 2001 Proton (purchased locally) and a 2000 Ebony from Houstion; both with 40K miles on em. Keep looking and don't be afraid to walk.
