Re: Buying a old car/truck

I would guess you have never sold a solid classic vehicle that you have put energy and dollars into only to find it a month later for sale on Craig's List missing the engine and other parts. Then 6 months later you find it stripped at a u-pull it yard because the guy you sold it to couldn't get his asking price so he scrapped it. So yes it is something I ask when selling the vehicle along with other questions about how they might approach certain repairs or other such things. I have walked away from buyers when I didn't trust their intentions. Old vehicles that have survived need to be looked after so they will be around for your children and grandchildren to enjoy. Your attitude about what the seller should be concerned about really only applies to common vehicles less than 20 years old.
IMO!
