Make sure you check out the service history. The seller claims it has been maintained well, so they should have records to prove it. And make sure they have owned it for several years. Whenever I see someone that says "need to sell ASAP" it makes me nervous.
He is the original owner, he is some arabian guy that has all service records and everything that has ever been replaced. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it at this point anyway as the insurance company isn't giving me enough, and my parents won't help me out.
