Never done it before, but plan on buying my uncle's 94 SC400. Should have some pics up of it when I go out and see it!

yea it wouldn't be crazy, but if your in Texas and its in cal, hop a flight visit your uncle that your buying it from, and just drive it home, nothing beats the victory run home! last time i did that i picked up a 64 VW Bus from cal, drove it home, 55 all the way ! starter went out someplace in AZ, had to push start it rest of way home lol! but its more fun to bring it home yourself then pay someone.

little miss sunshine? haha didn't see the movie, i just remembered seeing the VW Bus in the ads.

another plus to flying over and picking it up would be that you get to drive the car around first and see if you like it unless you've driven one before.
