If you do not know what you are looking at, you are better off not going to look at it at all. Everything looks nice in pictures, even in person, but when you start looking at the mechanicals, wiring, suspension, brakes, fuel and brake lines and how they are routed (you being a newbie will not know what to look for, there is no way to walk you through it as each car is hand built).

Again, you are better off not going to look at it without a mechanic at the very least. Forget about what you eyes and your heart is telling you, play it safe or walk away.
