Hello all,
I'm about to buy my dream car and it's a relatively low mileage example. (1991 MY with 48K miles). The car has only had about 4000 miles put on it in the last 6 years. It is bone stock with a new battery, age appropriate timing belt and water pump, out of snap ring range, and up to date with services. All service records since new and the car has been well maintained and looked after it's entire life. My main concerns are how little the car has been driven in the last 6 years and the tires are from April of 2015.
For the drive from it's current home of Ft Worth, TX to it's new home in Atlanta, GA would be right about 900 miles in 2 days.
Is there any reason I shouldn't do this? All shipping company quotes are telling me it could easily be 6-8 weeks before the car can be trucked to ATL. If I can get it home in 2 days without mechanical or tire issues, then that is much more preferable.
Looking forward to becoming an active member of the community and hearing from the brain trust on this issue...Honcho, looking at you man!
