Suggestion for the future:
Anytime that I go to look at a car, I always bring a good
battery and starting fluid spray, plus a small box of basic
tools. 2 of 3 cars that were "driven" to their location
were started with permission of the owner on the spot after
checking the oil and other common sense items, proving
their worth to me.
#3 refused and could give no good reason. His reaction and
way of handling the communication of his decision told me
that I was not getting all facts needed to make a good
buy/fair-price decision, so I let it go and am content
about it.
If I had a dead car that I wanted out of the barn, and the
potential buyer was savvy enough to get the thing to turn
over on the spot, I'd be more than happy to let them fiddle
with the car so that they'd sell themselves and solve my
problem, says my own logic. If not, why not?
You're testing the seller as much as the car on these events....
