I think its a great list. These aren't all things to necessarily ask the seller. These are some guildlines to follow and ask yourself as you check out the car. It will not necessarily say whether or not you buy, but will help with price negotiations and/or how much it will take to get the car where you want to be condition-wise. I agree if a buyer came to me askin' 72 questions and drilling me on everything about a car I'd get a little annoyed. But can I expect to get full value for something I can't answer most of these questions?
My scenario went: Me: "How much you want for it" Seller: "$5,500" Me: "I have $4,000" Seller: "ok"
This was the 1st and only one I looked at and really the only FGF I'd looked at closely in person.
