Well,
This forum and also the Hamb are very good avenues to check out a car before you go to pick it up. I realize during an ebay 7 or 10 day auction it may not be feasible to get someone to view it fast enough. But simply asking if someone on those forums are in the area of the car and offering to pay for time and gas may save alot of money and heartache in the long run. I don't see anyone asking for that favor here. Its fun to go on roadtrips to look at cars for sale. Alot of times you end up finding other cars available for sale. Maybe you'll find that 32 3 window in the corner of an old shed with chicken sheet paint.
