Need Help from WA. board members.
Made a deal over the phone last night. Agreed to pay sellers asking price. Was first caller (truck had been advertised for 11 days) and was told "yes we have a deal". Asked if he had paypal and said he'd have to ask his wife and would call me tonight. Never got the call, so I called and the cell phone is shut off. Maybe I'm paranoid and I'll get a call tomorrow. But this isn't the first time I've "had a deal" that never ended up happening.
Are there any reasonable and trustworthy buying services in the Seattle area that I could wire the money to and they'd get the title and maybe even take possession of the truck til it shipped? I've never bought a truck without looking at it first and when I've taken the plunge and tried it fell through. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Thanks. |

Re: Need Help from WA. board members.
Most shipping services will offer that service. No payment without title in hand, etc.
Typical shipping estimates will range from 650 to 1000 from Northwest to Colorado or New Mexico. I shipped one from Idaho to Colorado and it ran $650 bucks. Good Luck

Re: Need Help from WA. board members.
I don't know if it's in your budget, but you could try to get a cheap flight and make a weekend out of it. Fly up, check out the truck, do the deal, take it to a shipper on Monday AM and fly home.
Just me, but I wouldn't buy vehicle sight unseen. There are too many things that pictures and seller descriptions don't show or tell. Unless you're already planning for a complete basket case to restore.
