I'm looking for a 940. I found one locally.

$1,000. 301k miles, salvage, 944, being sold by mechanic on behalf of owner. He e-mailed me that it has no problems, which seemed abrupt and dismissive, recent timing belt, water pump, radiator, "major tune up," battery. He was wrong or unclear about smog, because it's too remote to quality for DMV sale.

I haven't seen it in person, but the pics show an immaculately kept car inside and outside.

Thoughts about this deal? It seems too good to be true.

I've never bought a car from a mechanic, though his shop has a good reputation in town and I've known of it for more than a decade.

Since I have his assurance that there are no problems, is there any reason I should get an independent inspection? If I find something wrong post-purchase, I can show him the e-mail which is in essence a warranty.

Thanks
