FYI: advice. A picture is worth

Hello Everyone
For anyone looking at cars to buy, or anyone with repair questions.

One picture is worth a thousand words.

Thank you and have a great day.

And what you can't see in a picture might be a repair costing a thousand dollars.

depends on the pic..

pics are definitely a help .. one way or the other, to show the good side of things - or the bad side.

i'm all for pics because sometimes the written word is shall we say confusing a bit!??

Pics are definitely handy, but counting on them alone could cause major problems later. I'm all for visual inspection when possible.

sure it's better in person

no duh, but we're here on the net man , not down the street... hehe
naturally eyeing stuff in person is the better way. if that's not possible due to the someone being in another state or country for that matter then pics and accurate pics are the way to clarify things. i think that is what whunter is on about.

c'mon use those digicams y'all got!
