    Just wondering what your number one question was to ask someone prior to traveling looking at a car.

    ***uming the car is advertised as good driver and most of the usual what condition/modifications/options have already been answered.

    Mine is does the VIN on the car match the one on the ***le.

    ***le first, rust second, how long have you owed it, and what's wrong with it.
     
  3. Make sure it's still going to be for sale when you get there. The rest, they can ******** their *** off and you won't know until you see it yourself.

    If the car is free then ask no questions! hahaha. if money is involved i usually ask for detailed photos and a list of info. if they give you a short list and the car is cheap id be skeptical. i also pay attention to how well they tell you about the car(do they know anything about it? or have any knowledge at all about vehicles?)

    Does it have a clear ***le including body type (RD for roadster etc.) in the state you are going to register the car in.
