Default car dealership in LI

a friend of mine is trying to buy a marauder. i personally dont know much about the car ... are you guys familiar with the ford line?

anyways my 2 questions
1) Performance Auto Inc. 1315 LakeLand Ave, Bohemia, NY 11716 ... anyone know if this place is legit/sketchy? should I stay away from this dealership? is the area good or bad in general?

2) anything i should pay close attention to if when i go see this car in person.

i pass by performance all the time, its a small independant dealer. i dont have any experience with them though, i think they also have a body shop. most dealerships are at least somewhat sketchy/grimey though. that residential area is a nice, but its also bordering on a large industrial area. its 5 minutes from macarthur airport though if u were thinking about flying in to pick up the car

Can you explain that a bit more? I don't see anyway it could possibly be faster to drive then fly...

What's the flight from Boston to Mac Arthur, 60-90 mins tops. The airport is literally 5 minutes from the dealership.

Drive has to be 4-5 hours easy.

well im actually a bit west of boston. its going to take time to drive into the airport. If i do that the parking at Logan is pretty expensive. If i take public transport ... its going to be like 2 hours just to get into the airport.

Not to mention it will definately be cheaper since the potential buyer is paying for gas
