Hello! I was looking to buy this 1989 Buick Century from a Classic Car Dealer located in Atlanta, Georgia. This is my dream car because it is the same type of car my great grandmother used to drive me around in. I want to purchase it because of the condition and the mileage, and it seems to have been kept really clean. I am only skeptical because I do not live close enough to see this car in person, so I would be having it shipped to my home address. Please let me know if this is a bad decision or not. Thank you so much in advance!
If the link doesn't work, it is a 1989 Buick Century from Steel Side Classics.
I got the answer I was looking for, thank you all for the advice.

The price is a little high. Test drive the vehicle and make sure that everything drives smoothly while on the road. Try and lower the price to 10k.
If you do end up buying it, do not daily drive it. It's a 32 year car.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
No. Emotional decisions are always bad decisions.
Buying a 30yr old + vehicle without seeing it in person and paying ~ $14,000 sounds unreal.
I recommend you think twice..
No, the car is not your great grandmother. No possession that represents to us a person is that person, themselves. Cherish the memories, as well as the manageable prompts, the small reminders that are relatively portable. And, perhaps, think about what was important to her, and direct the money, in that direction, if you're comfortable in doing so.
It's a very bad idea to buy any car sight unseen. Plenty of horror stories out there as close as your favorite search engine.
