I don't want to tell you your business, but I wouldn't offer 6 grand for anything sight unseen. If you have the money to buy this car, then you can probably throw together a few hundred dollars to travel to wherever the car is to check it out.

I think things would be better for both parties if you honestly said you wanted to look first, and offered the money if it looked good, rather than offering up the money and risking hard feelings if you go up and the car doesn't look so good.

But that's just my opinion. I've bought a lemon or two in my life - enough to be anal-retentive about checking things over...
