Great, funny and well-edited video. When I first started watching, I thought, "Oh, this guy must be a popular fun car guy with a satirical tone, much like Doug DeMuro." Then I saw the 440 subs and realized you must be up and coming. You earned my subscription, pal! Clicked the video because I want to invest in a late 60s Roadrunner in a few years.

Get real mate, no one is going to allow you to spend that much of their time checking every nut and bolt and then potentially walk away.

Maybe it's different in the assic community? Plus if you want a car gone fast, that's a bit of a red flag. As he said, if you are going to live with it for 10, 15, 20 years, surely you want to know how it'll treat you? Although I do agree in that spending what seems like an entire day to potentially say "it's not for me" does sound like a lot to ask. But I imagine the modern car selling world is so fast paced and disposable because modern cars, other than their milage, are all shit, so maybe its just different for classics 🤷🏻‍♂️

Title should be, "how to buy a perfect classic car". Hee hee. Peace be unto you.

[@mikeceli]

Greet seller, quick look, when the seller is talking about his car, SHUT UP AND LISTEN! Then look at paperwork, before spending time going under the car.

I'm lusting for an old Saab 900 last couple years but man there are non to be found. It sucks. I remember seeing them all the time in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid but now they're straight up unicorns. 😔

[@pedridemperi9872]

I think you'll get one. Keep looking. Some classic cat shops and dealers have these things sitting in sheds with no love for them. Bingo that's where you come in. You need to dig. Cold call etc.
