I'm looking at a legacy GT, and simply put its in south flordia and i'm in Chicago. its a price i like and everything is to my likings.

I emailed the guy and talked to him about the car. He seems like a legit person.

the pictures he sent me of the cars look great.

Ideally if this car was remotely close to me say a state away i would jump on it this weekend and go there for it.

But since this is a trip away, I'm a little worried about the car not being exactly what i expect it to be. I've look at pictures of local cars done by dealers and well when i went to see them they weren't what i expected. Mainly paint matching and stuff. The owner was telling me how the bumper and fenders were replaced prior to him owning and he says he couldn't tell the difference.

what do guys think and feel about this.

If you can't go to FL and look at the car there are services that will inspect the car for you.

I generally avoid cars in South FL but that's me. Run a Carfax on it.

pending its not to far away to me, i'll check it out.

you want to make sure the front and back bumpers paint is matching to the stock of the car? correct?
