To buy or not to buy is the question

I tell people the same thing about Arizona cars........just 'cuz it's in Arizona, and licensed in Arizona, doesn't mean it's been here all it's life. Nor does it mean it is rust free, Arizona cars can have rust, too.

 

It's better to buy cars from the upper east coast. Then you know what to expect.

 

I would have it inspected or hold off for a car you can inspect yourself. One mans perfect is another mans oh S@@t.

 

I live fairly close to Paradise ("two tickets to Paradise!") It's far enough inland that there generally wouldn't be much in the way of rust and salt shouldn't be an issue. That's if it in fact spent most of the past 50 years there - it might have been somewhere else before landing in Paradise.

 

Well as much as I like it Im going to hold off. It has the look I want (original worn out paint) pics show straight,no rust and it already has a nice looking wheel combo which is a bonus. I am just having no luck at all finding anything decent near me. My budget is 10k. If it was with in driving distance ,it would be in my driveway. I think I would be paying top $$$ also which is to risky with out seeing it in person.

 

Hang in there. Hopefully something else nice will show up within a days drive.
If you have my luck after you buy one two more will be down the street.

 

yep I have that kind of luck. I did find an 84 caprice in great shape that I think I could buy for 800 . Its no 66 but for 800 it make me think twice.

 

Where are you at?

Maybe we can help find you a good one......
