Thanks for all the help, info and ideas.
SADLY, the car is taken off the market. We were on the same page with everything and I had my cash "in-hand" on the day, and I got the text that he didn't want to sell "just yet". So we talked in person and all's good.
So we made a deal (I also just bought our 16 unit shop complex, SO HE'LL BE MY TENANT) that when the time comes to sell, I get 1 month to decide and it's for the same price we agreed to now. So maybe 2 to 3 years down the road I think. (I gave some investment advice that he MIGHT make the same $$$ of this deal as he was selling me the Chevelle for in 3 years. Due to his CNC machining business lead) He actually offered me the Chevelle back when he is ready to sell for 1/2 of what we agreed if the investment stuff comes true.
So in the end, I wait and get a nice car in the somewhat near future, and didn't quite NEED the car now, just didn't want to regret it and pass it up either.
