Default Wish me luck.....

Flying down to Phoenix tomorrow morning (Saturday) to look at and hopefully buy a '95 SC400. It's the high miler I posted about earlier, and I'm sure I'll catch some hell for that, but I'm thinking it'll pan out. I should be back sometime Sunday so will post with updates ASAP. Wish me a safe trip!

good luck man, hopefully it'll work out for you-been there once. Flew to Georgia from NC, and drove my SC 3 back...no issues. Keep us posted.

Thanks all!

For those of you who've flown out and bought cars without seeing them first, how did you handle it? How much interaction/discussion with the seller, pics, vids, etc, did you get? I've got 75mb of pics of this car and have spoken with the seller several times on the phone, and despite the miles I'm pretty confident that I know what I'm getting. It's still scary, though.

I bought an MR2 turbo a few years ago. I paid for it before ever seeing it in person, and then flew out to Oklahoma and drove it back to Georgia. It turned out well, but I was nervous as could be. Good luck tomorrow! and post pics!
