Default Re: Long distance buying

I've bought 2 Model As out of the US but looked at others. For the two I bought, I relied on the word of a friend who knows Model As and who I trust. They were cars from his club. For the ones I didn't buy, I used a company that does such inspections. For the very first one of those, when I read the report, I had an uneasy feeling about it so I rang them. I was correct but not like you are thinking. I spoke to the guy who did the inspection himself and he explained that while his report was right and the car sounds like a good buy, he wouldn't buy it himself. The report was a little superficial and taylored more for more modern cars. In the conversation, he said that it was a pig with lipstick on. We were both pleased that I rang.
