Yes, I will be much better prepared next time, and not in such a hurry to buy.

God was I lucky on this.
P.S.,
I really would like to find out if they're gonna try to sell it without fixing it, now that they KNOW FOR A FACT the blinkers aren't working properly.

i know a lot of people that have back when they use to sell supras.... just look at autotrader, etc
btw the exact same thing happen to my mom, she bought a 2 door accord back in 92, she kinda got forced into it, the next day she wanted a 4 door, they said thats impossible, turns out she never filled out that draft thing either, so they could have either lost a sale completely or sold a more expensive 4 door accord so of course we got the 4 door

Now you know why used car dealers have such a fine reputation. You will find that good cars rarely end up at the auction to be resold by a used car dealer.
New car dealers keep the decent trade-ins to sell themselves and send the junk to the auction for the vulchers.

I agree, I live in Maryland and flew down to Ft. Lauderdale to buy my vette and drive it back home. Do the research, if you find what you want go get it. You got lucky.

If you'll read the previous page, however, you'll see the morons forgot to get any money from me by totally forgetting to get my bank draft.
Also, thanks for your advice about used car dealerships. I'll probably try to buy from a "real" dealership next time instead of a small one.
