Thomas, I think Dan and Paul have pretty well included my view. There is no substitute for actually seeing (and driving) a car yourself, before you commit yourself. But the USA is a long way away, and your never sure how high the price will eventually go. As has been stated there are plenty of US enthusiasts who may have a look at it for you. Buying a car is a big financial (and emotional) commitment, its nice if you get it right, its not so good if it all goes pear-shaped! Good luck and Regards Chris Parnham BTW its not buying one "off" the club, but off a club member, via our mag! or indeed via DMC UK -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Mc Auley [mailto:mcauleydmc@xxxx] Sent: 06 November 2003 16:30 To: doc-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [doc] First post Chris would you say it is safe to buy a car from ebay? If so, can you hire people to go out and check the car over if it is in the US? I'm hoping to buy one off the club, so I can't wait to see the new mag!
