Thoughts on this one? I have a few:

1. I'd never but never purchase from Fleabay without a thorough in-person inspection, same as I'd do for any used vehicle.

2. Private feedback is a major-league red flag. Anyone dealt with this seller before? Anyone know why feedback is negative?

3. Standard questions I'd ask seller - how many owners, service records available, any accidents, any paint and/or body work? Evap replaced or is it original?

4. Rust? Not "is there any rust" but "where are any rusty areas?" I would be very suspicious if it is claimed to be a rust-free car in Chicago.

Location of this one is not the best as I'd prefer a nice example from the west coast or southeast where I have less concern about rust.

I welcome anyone's thoughts on this one. Color combo is nice - I love the darker tan leather.
