I don't think I can do it. Is there anyone on the list that has purchased via email, phone, and pics? Experience, good or bad? jim >> I purchased one of my cars from a gentleman who was in the UK, and I am extremely happy with my decision. I of course had the seller send me photos of everything. I got photos from the front, side, back, top, bottom, interior, in evening lighting, in morning lighting, close up, etc., you get the picture. I believe it was over 50 pictures when it was all said and done. I also asked for a list of all known problems (you're taking their word, but what other options do you have). I also asked for proof of title, registration, etc. When I got the car, it was just as I expected. My advise is to get as many photos of the car as you can. Be a pain in the @#%. If they are not willing to provide you with the requested additional information, they are probably hiding something. You can see pictures of my vehicles on my webpage. Good luck.
