Buying from east

[Noxious]

I am considering buying a skyline from east. If it was from a dealer I would have no problem with it. But I am a little skeptical with buying a car I have not seen before through private sale. The car seems immaculate from the detailed pictures and from talking to the previous owner. I am also aware that I need to do credit checks on the car to make sure no money is oweing on the car, my understanding is that the car can be taken off me by a bank? if money is oweing? or have I been missinformed. What else should I look for? what other q's I should ask?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes if the car has money oweing on it then the bank will happily take it back should the previous owner forget to pay it.

Sneeza knows that only too well

Thanks for clearing that up. I will do a credit check before I even consider it the. I don't want that happening to me, word of mouth isn't enough when it comes to forking over my hard earned dollars!

I Agree.... if your going to spend $15,000 + on a car... a $500 flight might make all the difference.... it may look different in real life.

I have seen people before say I will pay for ya floght if ya buy my car.... maybe try that line.... "If I buy your car would you knock $500 more off to fly over"
