Now, if it was a part I really wanted for my truck and it was a great price, yes, I would make the trip.

I'd like to add if I was retired, I would probably do it just for funzies, but as of now, my weekends are a precious commodity.

I'd pass the info on to the guy who wants to buy them. You'll likely make a friend and not potentially waste you time. What happens if the seller is a scammer or plain nutcase? Maybe ask the buyer if he wants you to come along, backup and conversation
