Did done did it with pictures now
Did done did it.
A retirement gift to myself after 42+ years in the National Guard.
Picked up a 2017 GS CE
Leap of faith with no test drive.
Dealer sent videos looks great.
GMVIS was good, Carfax and auto check good.
Car was only in Texas, a one owner.
Shall get familiar with it on the drive back.
Never been this nervous, even before I got married or went on deployment twice to the desert.
Have had snow and cold this week in Colorado but 70’s on the drive back.

And of course with the weather in Texas yesterday doesn’t help matters.
I know all gunna be ok, but still a big step.
couldn’t wait much more. Prices were finally coming down and selections that were kinda close were disappearing.
The misses also wants to stop at some wineries on the way home, which I’m all for.

Depending on how much you paid for it, depends on how much of a risk you're taking........sight unseen.
Congratulations on a career with the Reserves. My brother was a Medi-Vac doctor in the Reserves for over 30 years with the VA System after the VietNam War and Germany. He was Airborne as well. Ft. Benning, Georgia the whole enchilada. He retired as a Major.
I was a Service Academy graduate, but missed out on the VietNam War action.😔

Well I turned 60 I had to retire. It was a great run. Thanks for the thank you’s.
Should be fine. I know those reports are only as good as the reporting. They all agreed with no gaps in service.
Thats my only concern is sight unseen. Videos the dealer took looked good. Car was running didn’t hear any strange noises.

enjoy and congrats.
yeah i bought mine via from photos, video, email and phone calls and then had it shipped. indeed nerve racking because you are going on word of mouth and what you can decipher from photos and not seeing it up close. overall mostly pleased, more could of been done to get it ready for sale but they did the min to get it pass their inspection and it passed over in my state so overall that was good.
