Have him take his phone out to the car when he starts it, and listen to it. Have him walk the phone to the engine compartment, throttle it a few times, honk the horn. If you know what things to listen for - you can decide whether or not you'll buy/make the trip. Also, ask whether he has a clear TITLE IN HAND, before making the trip.

I did this after seeing pictures of an antique 32 yr. old Honda 4-cylinder motorcycle 1,300 miles away before buying. Once I heard what I wanted to hear - start, throttle, exhaust sound, horn, etc. - it was a sale. I paid for it in full immediately, after getting a copy of the Michigan title, and having it shipped to me. I turned the bike for $1K+ more than I paid for it - and rode it for a year to boot! So, get on the phone is my advice.

If it won't turn over - give him a firm number of $300 to $500. If AS described when you get there.

For a running car with no rust, I would drive 100 miles to look at it if I was looking to buy one.
