I live in Maui so I know about buying (and shipping) long distance. My suggestion is to fly out and see it in person. You will be able to sleep a lot better knowing its exactly as advertised. I purchased a 1957 Chevy Bel Air last year in Vegas. Cost me $450 to fly out. When I inspected the car we found the rear lights not working. The seller agreed to knock off $200 off the price of the car. So in the end it cost me only $250 to see the car in person. Plus I consider it part of the experience. How many times are you going to buy a Delorean? Inspecting it is part of the fun.
