Advice for a New Buyer

[joey4420]

I drove mine from Montgomery AL to West Chester OH 573 miles and google maps claims 8 hr and 40 mins, of course with stops every 100-110 miles it took me 12 hours to get home. This time did include a 1 hour stop for a odd overheating issue that popped up 6 hours into the drive.

Would I do it again, I would love to, with the car I bought in the condition I bought it in? NO WAY.

After getting home I found out the tires, hoses, belts were all original... 22 years old. I have also been plagued with an overheating issue since I have been working on it since I got home in February.

Even after spending almost 2 hours talking to the previous owner and driving it around, I still have been finding little things that make me wonder. I have no complaints really about the previous owner, but buyer beware. My car had 3700 miles when I bought it, I now have almost 6000 miles on it, but I have been working on it almost weekly since it came home.

I would have no problem driving the car from Ga to Va, in fact I just made this trip, there has been good advise already on this thread but just wanted to say Steve is a stand up guy and great to work with. I am sure he will treat you right.
My advise is go see the car, look it over, drive it and work with Steve to get the deal done. I am sure Steve will have no problem going over any concerns or answering any questions you may have.
Have fun and drive the wheels off the thing.
Good Luck and welcome.
