    Welcome!

    I think you have a nice budget that could accommodate the shipping cost too, which I guess should be about $750.

    If you really like that wonderful blue 6MT, go for it! It looks like a car that will not require that much money to put into it for the next year or two.

    But at the same time, see if you can negotiate.

    Some might suggest to keep the shipping cost out of the negotiation but as a buyer, that is money from your pocket. If seller does not have that many buyers lined up, the seller will surely be willing to consider the situation and might pitch in to offset. Does not hurt.

    Go for it!

    It will take me awhile before I ever buy a car without seeing it in person first. Almost every car I've looked at so far has something majorly wrong with it that other people wouldn't notice.

    Understood but fyi that the for-sales put on our site by someone in the family can be relied up a lot more than any random listing. And I assumed you would arrange for a indy PPI.

    Plus, I seriously doubt our members would put up something for sale if there is anything 'majorly' wrong with it that other people wouldn't notice.

    Since you are new to the group, no doubt you are going to be skeptical especially as the amount is significant. Browse around our site and then maybe you will see where I am coming from.

    All the best!

    I'm with BMWM3186 on this - I would never buy a car sight unseen, no matter how well it's described. It's due diligence. But, then again, if someone does buy a car without seeing it, then that means they're ok with that, and are willing to live with whatever discrepancies they find. I guess we are just not those kinds of people.

    Besides, checking a car out, even if everything checks out, just means you can drive it back, and that is most of the fun in the process!

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    Anyone listing a car on here, especially someone who has been around awhile, is selling themselves as much as the car. This isn't craigslist...with vague information and sketchy listings. We all read the listings on here and vet them accordingly. If something looks out of place or isn't there it is mentioned and addressed. Plus, a lot of folks have build/maintenance threads for the vehicles that are up to date. And 99% of members on here will have no problems with a PPI and more pictures and video. I wouldn't worry about it, just make sure you get all you need. The toughest part is even after all that, being able to walk away if on arrival it all comes crashing down...the chance of which, is unlikely, but that is the risk. The drive home is the funnest part though!
