long distance q purchases

[Horace K. Sawyer]

I second Steve's comments.  (Maybe third or more by the time of this 
response)  I have been buying long distance since 1996.  It has been 
satisfying and rewarding, both financially and aesthetically.  It boils 
down to economics and what you want, in my view.  Every time I have gone 
long distance, it is because it is the car I want at the best price even 
factoring in plane tickets, hotel, travel, etc.  Plus, it's 
fun!  Generally, the sellers will be 98% up front with you.  This, sadly, 
does not always apply to dealers.  You still have to be prepared mentally 
to abandon the project and continue the hunt.
