Welcome aboard.

Ask him to provide documentation on mileage (i.e., service reports/receipts) and proof of storage (registration and insurance). Otherwise assume he's full of crap. You would be surprised at how many of these cars have just 50K miles and have been stored for the last 10 years... Look at the brake pe...

Welcome aboard. That ticket reminds me of a time back in '97. Just got back from a 6 month deployment and my buddy goes out and buys a Mustang Cobra.
