Decent Deal? Anything stick out that should cause me to not make the trek?

Take someone with you and check it out,,,,it’s only 4 hours,,,make a day of it .
You can do your close inspection,,,,maybe an hour ?,,,counting a 10 minute test drive .
That’s a lot of money,,,,so the car should really be in fine condition in my opinion.

And,,,,if it is in that great of shape,,,it should drive .
Why take a trailer,,,drive it home,,,I did a few months ago .
After I arrived,,,I had planned a really close inspection,,,,,after I looked at several locations I was done .
It probably took 10 minutes,,tops,,,it’s really hard to hide crap,,,unless someone is really a crook .
I did a short half mile drive,,,maybe like a big circle round trip .
Paid the man and then a 3 hour drive home .
I couldn’t have been happier,,,,we let it roll coming home,,,lol .

But,,,be prepared to walk away from it if it’s not worth the money.

all of this, but especially that last line.

it's okay to walk away if the deal doesn't feel right. you don't *have* to buy a car because you drove all that way or took the money out or pulled the trailer all the way there.

the deal is the deal, and if it ain't the deal you are always 1000% ahead calling it a push and going home. big whoop if you burned a day cuz it didn't turn out to be as advertised, or there was something that you didn't like about it, or the paper work was screwy or the seller was a dick. you didn't lose nuthin' on that man, you saved 25K (or whatever you were gonna spend).
