Go see the vehicle in person or have it inspected by a professional inspection company. I've used lemonsquad.com for inspections with excellent results! Hope that helps! Jim

Yes the seller got very upset when I asked When and where can your vehicle now be seen ? He then said I would be required to make a deposit 1st , which I disagreed ...There after he accused me of being the Scammer >>SMH ...I notified Car Gurus about this and they removed my inquiry now
