If you watch Craigslist you can find a lot nicer ones for less money. Also, I have bought two vehicles going by pictures and was burned both times. One of the times though I did pay a "reputable" hot rod shop and appraiser to check it out as I was 3 states away. What a joke and waste of money that was. I will never buy one without looking at it in person or without someone that has more knowledge than me.
