    here is the car:

    http://ecarlink.com/cgi-bin/showroom.cgi?mode=show&id=4234

    I live in california, the car is in texas.

    They emailed me the "BILL OF SALE" to sign and fax back to them.

    If I sign it, am i obligated by law to buy the car?

    Because before i buy the car, i want it inspected, i heard the
    valve guide scares and such.

    Does anyone know where i can get a specialist local to the car ?


    thanks

    I am not an attorney, so my advice is probably worthless. But I wouldn't sign jack until I was ready to lay down the cash.

    Have you looked on these forums for info on this car? Search by the VIN

    Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

    You didn't post the document, but I would guess if you sign the bill of sale you would be obligated. I would think if you added a clause that the sale was contingent on inspection that it would cover you.

    Don't know about the legal aspects, but I can recommend Norwood Performance (972-831-8111) for the inspection

    TECHNICALLY, yes, you are obligated upon signing the bill of sale.

    Will anyone go after you? No...people back out of deals every day in the car business. Is it right anyway? No.

    Have them write on the BOS that sale is contingent upon vehicle passing a PPI at the tech of your choice, and any deposit you give them is refundable if the car fails. You'll be fine. The guys at ecarlink will understand, from what I know of them they are top notch.

    Norwoods is around the bend sort of speak from EcarLink they should have no issue using them (Nor should you. They are AAA+++) James Patterson is a user here and they sponsor the board... Look at sponsor link page and tap the image for Norwood....

    They don't arrange financing.

    This car costs 62k, and i can put almost 40k down.

    What company do you guys recommend? i was thinking of going to capital one.

    That does look like a great car. The interior is really clean looking (from the pictures). The mileage is really working in your favor - a great price, and it makes me more comfortable about the valve guides, as they should have shown up by now it they were going to. It's a win-win for you. Sweet!

    if when you sign on a bill of sale you write on it "subject to passing PPI" or something like it, you wouldn't be obligated to buy unless the car passes the PPI. To cover you behind i suggest writing something more specific what is passing PPI means to you.
