What makes the buying process more challenging for me is the cars I have found are not local to me so they would be bought sight unseen. I have done that before 2x, once on an 05 S from private party and I talked to him several times and got a good feeling from him about the car. Having the PPI done and feedback from the dealer certainly helped. Second car bought sight unseen was my Ferrari from the dealer. I felt a little more comfortable talking to them about the car as they were a Ferrari dealer. This particular 05 S I am interested is a trade at a Subaru/Chevy dealer so I don't quite trust them as much. If we move forward the PPI will help as I will get another opinion on the car.
I am hardly one to sweat the small stuff on a deal like this or worry over $1000 if it is the right car. If the car was local it would a much easier deal. I would have looked at the car already and would have either bought it or passed by now.
