seeing the scenario in his home also gives you an idea of how diligent he is, at keeping things in order. a clean garage translates to a well-maintained car, according to some folks..
also, i want to know where the seller lives, in the unlikely event that i might want to speak face to face with him, again.
errr... is seller also the owner or is seller a bayan seller?
i might go thru some discomforts, if seller is the owner as well.
bring work clothes, a higaan, a cap, and a strong flashlight.
you will want to crawl under the car, to inspect for leaks... engine.. brakes.. shocks.. and body rust!!!
if you can have the car lifted up at the gas station, the better for more thorough inspection underneath.
make sure all the parts and accessories are complete and are in working condition. unless you know it for a fact, don't believe him when he says "hindi ko na pinalitan. mura lang naman yan sa shoemart, e."
all these co$t money to fix, after you purchase the car.
ang daming used cars on sale nowadays.
do not snap up the first car you inspect. see several. the next car you inspect might just be better than the one that got away.
and don't forget! the documents!
happy hunting.
errr... still open to sedans?
