To this I reiterate: Don't buy a car sight unseen, sit in it first. Not a ride in the passenger seat but in the driver's seat. It's nice if the owner lets you drive, but at least be sure you aren't crowded out. Several cars I looked at were not physically compatible - the steering wheel rested on my lap with the seat adjusted for comfortable pedal positions.
