Bionic Man- I have started searching further away... With the shipping idea, my issue is that I want to do a full lookover and test drive before purchasing any vehicle used. Half the used vehicles I have driven so far, either squeak, leak, or have rust, so I really wouldn't trust getting something shipped.
You are right, there are risks that way.
Before I came out, I had the dealer do a face time walk around the vehicle, as well as on a test drive.
I'm not sure this forum would work this way, but I had a boating forum friend who was near Portland go and check it out. And I signed paperwork to purchase contingent to my inspection and it to have no leaks or check engine lights.
Are you active on any smaller forums? I have checked out three boats and a car for forum friends that found something they were interested in that was in my area. Now I can honestly say I have on line friends that I would trust to check out a large purchase and I would take their word sight unseen.
