I'm salivating over this 2.5RS Sedan in NNJ, anyone wanna go look at it for me? Haha. Here it is -- RS Club Link



Has anyone ever bought a car sight unseen??

It says Subaru on it, if that doesn't stop you nothing will anyway! haha

if it was my $8000 I would take a weekend to go look at the car.



I also dont know what those cars are worth, but that thing looks like it has had a hard life.

I could never do it. I see there are a bunch of dings all over the body. Car's probably been beat to **** every which way. At least it's a Jersey car. We all know that there are no dishonest people in NJ. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif

agreed, you wouldnt believe the boats i drove halfway accross the state to see cause the pics were perfect, only to find it was a pile of ****, nothing like the pics. I would NEVER buy anything for over a couple grand that i hadn't already seen.

I've done it twice. First time was a resounding success. The second time was a complete disaster. The third and fourth times I went and checked the car out myself.

I've made a few big purchases over the telephone/internet. One of those was a car and I had the owner take it to a dealership to have it inspected. The inspection ran somewhere around $150 but the assurance it provided was well worth it.

Horror stories abound!



So then, talk me out of this...I want a fun daily to replace my Eclipse. 4 doors would be economical and fun...



Vosko -- do you have much experience with Subarus?
