<VV> Vair Purchase ASAP!!!! - Now Old Car Price Guide

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

My experience is that the "Price Guide" grossly overstates the  value of 
cars in all categories.  It is a great car seller's tool for this  reason.  I 
have never purchased a car anywhere near the "Guide's"  theoretical value.  
A couple of times when I was looking at cars, a seller  broke out a copy to 
show me and I told them I was aware of the inaccuracy of the  prices 
therein.  One guy put it aside but another insisted on its  accuracy.  I can only 
assume the poor sucker had purchased his car based on  the Guide.  Live and 
learn.
 
Elia, 
 
I am always suspicious when someone gives me a very short  deadline to make 
a decision involving a lot of money.  Why do they need the  decision so 
quickly?  Are they concerned that you might bring and "expert"  to inspect the 
car?  Please tell me that they don't want cash or a  cashier's check.  Be 
careful.
