Yeah I think you're probably right, the seller seemed pretty straight but I suppose it's definitely worth checking, do you know how much it costs to get someone to check for something like that? the bloke has offered to take the car to a garage to check an oil leak has been fixed, do you reckon a regular garage would be able to spot crash damage or would i need to take the car to a specialist? i don't really want to mess the bloke around too much as he's already had some offers for the car not too far off what I can afford and the car's 90 miles away so i can't exactly take it to a mechanic i know
