In the wild world of classic car buying, asking the right questions can make all the difference. Instead of putting the seller on the defensive with “What’s wrong with the car?” try the gentler “What work needs to be done?” Patience is key; don’t let excitement lead to overspending. Research thoroughly and take a long test drive—avoid the allure of freshly painted rust buckets! When buying online, scrutinize photos and consider escrow services. Remember, the 80s and 90s cars are tomorrow’s treasures, so invest wisely!
