These are my last words on this matter.When i sent the money it was to hold the car till i saw it,earnest money to show how serious i was.I would NEVER buy a car on pics alone,THIS is a perfect example why YOU have to make the trip.If someone else shows interest you take their name and number and if the first guy in line doesn't work out you call the next guy on the list.Apparently i was the ONLY one on the list as the car is still for sale.I do not know ANYONE in that part of the country who could have checked it out for me.Apparently the seller is confused because i told him he misrepresented the car and if i had to get the police involved i would and i was not leaving without the cash.He asked me where he was going to come up with 2500 on a Saturday afternoon.I told him he could shake my hand,look me in the eye and tell me the check was good and he wasn't going to stop payment.Looking back i should have stayed over till Monday and went to the bank with him but it all worked out.I told this tale to the guy i bought the Nova from,he told me he would rather have someone be IMPRESSED by the car when they see it in person not disappointed.Sounds like good advice to me.diz
