I dont think I could ever buy a car without driving it, looking it over multiple times and meeting with the owner. Buying a car by just seeing pictures is not my style of buying a car. I looked at numerous cars and fond a couple in Illinois and was even going to do a broker style find, but the car they had just wasnt in the best of shape. -Not Steve Hill's company, a different brokerage.

I bought mine off DSM Trader. Never saw it. I was nervous about it. It worked out fine for me though. I'm sure there are people out there that are going to screw you, it's a craps shoot sorta. You could get a car that's exactly as advertised, or get totally screwed!

I don't think I would actually buy THAT particular car, I was just aknowledging the fact that they are out there for me to find! I know all of the ups and down and I trust local deals [Auto Trader, Car soup, Etc] a lot more than ebay. But I'm not even ready to buy a car yet, since I haven't even sold the Glorified yet. And I'm still debating in my head what I may want.

I've found a few local DSM's that I would possibly want, I found a 1998 S10 thats pretty much perfect for a good price, and I'm still looking around for deals. I don't know if I want my next car to be a DSM, considering I don't think I will be alble to afford it right away.. But I might...

Buy what makes you happy....I'm doubting an S10 would.

I bought my AWD rolling chassis from a guy in Kansas City off of DSMTuners. I got tons of pics before hand and felt pretty confident the car was owned by someone who knew DSM's well enough he knew what he was selling. When I picked the car up I was suprised the car looked MUCH better in person than it did in pictures. There were a couple of dings that I didn't know about, but nothing major at all. For the price I paid, I can't complain at all. Now if I were spending several thousand dollars for a running car, I'd want to test drive it first and make sure it was 100%.

Matt: This is what you just told me:
MuDvAyNe1543: Ive owned mine for 9 months, its ran for 4
SO NO!


I don't know what will make me happy. Thats the issue, I guess. A DSM won't make me happy when I'm putting money I don't have into it all the time and it's not always running, but at the same time, I love DSMs that run! They are nice looking [most of them anyways] and they can be fast. But I've also wanted a S10 for some time. AS well has having big plans for any DSM I were to get, I also would have big plans for an S10... Like I've said before, I don't limit myself to anything. But at this point in time I am still deciding what I want exactly.

*EDIT*

I attempted to go on DSMTuners, and it said the website was down do to lots of fraud incidents...

Have you checked local resources at all?
Autotrader, Carsoup, Cars.com?

I don't understand how people bitch about not being able to find specific vehicles when the most commonly used places of advertising aren't even checked.

I have purchased most of my cars from Carsoup, one was from Autotrader. Just some random useless info...
