my opinion, far too much of a head fu# buying from eastern states. sure u might save urself 2-3k originally then u can throw on the costs of getting it here, registering (may take more than once), new emission test which can (as ppl say) cost round $2000, all the phone calls, guy might strip parts before transport, u've never driven the car, might be a dud etc etc, just not worth it.
then again, up to you.
