I'll try and get it - seller is nice, but as I said, he's not wanting to divulge too much via emails, as he thinks it's "wasting time" - but in the same instance, niether of us are close enough physically (probably at least 2hrs+ or so apart distance wise) to just drop everything and meet up to review the car in person just to see the VIN, BUC & DSO info.

I've asked the pertinent questions - received some pics and the info I posted above (so far). No VIN or DSO info was given, even though I did ask (and was told both BUC tags are still attached). I'm not trying to waste his (or anyone's) time, but, due to the distance, I'm sure others would agree that trying to get such info via email is at this point, the best method (and really should not be all that "painful" if the seller wants to sell).

Based on his responses, it seems he's dealt with his fair share of "tire kickers" in the past and I guess feels that if anyone is asking a bunch of questions, they're really not "serious" about buying anything... LOL. He has told me he does have paperwork, but has not elaborated as to exactly what he has for the car.

I'll keep this updated if I get any forward progression... I'm hoping I can find out more, without him feeling like I'm being too forceful.

Am I going about this all wrong? LOL!

I own 1993 #801 and can help you if you have any year-specific questions. ditto the vin as stated above - it will tell you what you need to know.

If it were me, I would chance making the seller a little upset in order to make sure you aren't wasting your time either. It doesn't take long to write down a few numbers and forward them via e-mail. Good luck!

you need the vin to run a car fax. if the seller will not supply it then I wouldn't waste another second on the car.

+1....trust your instincts with the seller if they choose to not provide certain info. Even if it's all there and legit, too many others out there that you don't need to go through all of that with.
