Never, ever, ever buy without going and seeing the car in person yourself. Trust me on this.

I flew from NYC to Tampa to go see my H and buy it. Mine is Bianco Icarus (metallic white), with the red/black interior, red calipers. And then I personalized her...

Anyway, spend a few hundred bucks and go see the car. Check over every inch, sit in her, start her, open the engine cover, listen, just get a real good sense of what you're buy. Ideally it's from a dealer, but if not, consider getting a pre-sale inspection. Call and see if they will allow it, and if they say "no", then screw them.

These are big purchases and should be taken seriously.
