As well kept as it may be, it's still a 24+ year old car. Even if it looks good on the outside it could be trashed mechanically for all they can tell. Look at some of the stuff people report back on in the Good Buys thread.

Join a 4x4 page, those guys get VIs and complain about it just as much as the sports car guys. Same deal with the bike guys. Everyone thinks they're the only ones purely because they aren't members of the other communities.

I'd say the better way to back your claim is to immediately get the inspection done. Then it's not the owner saying their car is fine (guys with obviously illegal cars make that claim all the time), you've got documentation that the vehicle was found to be complaint without having had the time to change anything. Then get all of those guys together and see just how many there are, things may be different this time but every previous VI blitz I've heard about results in a whole lot of complaining and a whole lot of failed inspections.
