Heck, for the price you're talking about, you could FLY to Tucson and buy a nice 1998 Lincoln Continental or this 2003 Buick Regal LS and drive it home. Either way, you'd be getting a better, rust-free car, for far less.
Another option would be to show back up with $1000 cash and tell him take it or leave it, and be prepared to walk out with nothing.
Rust free, yes. Better? No way, Jose.
Travelling to buy a $2000 car? BITOG: Where everyone spares no expense with other people's money.
Did I say he SHOULD? No, I said, for the money involved, he COULD, and that he'd get a better car and still save money.
BITOG: Where too many people get overly defensive about other people's comments.
... oh, and for the record, LOTS of people fly to the SW states to buy cheap, rust-free cars, and then drive them back up north.

For that kind of money you can get a 2004 Mercedes E-320. Just saying...

Sold my 1992 88 with 36,000 miles for $3,700 a few months ago so that one is over priced for sure. But, looks like the same haters of GM, older cars, fwd cars etc. posting the same comments here as they posted in my sale thread. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/4905823/1
