Re: [FWDLK] eBay Motors: Dodge : Lancer



I agree.  Though I have a natural bias against dealers, Duffy's seems like one of the better ones for sure, and their Ebay feedback seems to support that.  (We live in Iowa and have been there a few times for fun.)  And though Neil makes a good point about a car's driving condition, I've also come to learn that cosmetics--especially things like interior/dash/chrome, etc.--are much more costly to restore than mechanical items.  It does look like a sharp car!

I bought my '55 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe Newport from Duffy's in 1996.  Based on my experience, I would highly recommend them, and would gladly buy from them again.  My car was exactly as they described it (maybe even better) and was priced very fairly.  I purchased my car sight-unseen and when it arrived, I liked it even better than I had hoped for.  It still looks and runs great and I'm still loving it to this day.  Duffy's was honest and reliable to deal with, and is a "class act" (if things are still as they were in 1996).
That Dodge looks nice and the price seems right.

I would prefer to buy a car from a long-time private owner; they tend to
be honorable and have
a personal interest in their car going to a good new-owner.

At the least, they should be able to discuss and document the upkeep and
maintenance of their car,
because its primary consideration should be in its driving condition,
rather than how pretty its
paintwork might be.
