1993 Mazda RX-7 — buyer sends a vehicle-history website I have never heard of

TowDailyCommunity StarterFeb 8, 20261993 Mazda RX-7 TouringBoston
Someone interested in my car insists I buy a report from a specific unfamiliar website before they will meet. Is this a common scam pattern and what information should I avoid entering? Mostly looking for the right next step. What would you check next?

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. A written buyer’s order on the 1993 Mazda RX-7 is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

I asked about 7 — buyer sends a vehicle-history website again and they still won't put GAP/add-ons on their own lines. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.

Get the messy numbers in writing first. Call your insurer in Boston before you fall in love with the 1993 Mazda RX-7. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “7 — buyer sends a vehicle-history website,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.

If I were shopping this, if one piece looks too good on the 1993 Mazda RX-7, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. This is from a 1993 Mazda RX-7 in Boston. Any freeze-frame data saved? Doing the boring step first on purpose.
