just to temper all this back slapping, as well founded as it is.
It is never a bad idea to to walk away from a car sale, if you are the slightest bit suspicious about the car. There are PLENTY of fish out there and you are gambling your hard earned dollars.
Now if you do not know what your looking for, inexperienced or just plain don't have the know how, get somone you trust has a track record and some kinda recourse to.
Even after buying cars for the past 20 some years, I missed some stuff when I was buying my 1'er. It had no alarm and I totally missed that there was no spare tire and RFT's
where new to me,
It's no shame to walk away, it's your money after all.
