I agree with you guys. The more I look, that car needs a lot of work. We all have been there, and the hidden stuff is what gets you. I can get a much better car for a little more cash. He sent me a pdf file of the documentation. No name that I know did the inspection. Quite a list of scary things such as the rear end. I would post the pdf if I knew how?

Who did the inspection ?

Can't make out the name on the inspection sheet. Let me see if I can post it here.

I agree that the black plate says something about the potential rust-free state of the car's bones, but you need to make sure that it has both front and rear plates, they are original to the car, and that the seller hasn't simply put a single black plate on to sex-up the look of the car for the ad.
