Boys, i can't thank you enough for the insghts. Yes, i like the http://www.webeautos.com/detail-1967-pontiac-firebird-for_sale-used-10713960.html car. Cash it will be $26K. He wants a deposit to hold it. I want to fly there Thursday morning and drive it back to Chicago with my boy. Seems odd to put a deposit on a catr tha ti havent seen... but it IS on ebay so i understand... how much of a deposit? should it be refundable if i don't like it? do the 100 pictures give you any pause? The broker says it's a showcar....
