Hi there, I found that "vehicle in transit" are cheaper. I also found "subject to satisfactory inspection". Any risk I should be aware of or any good point? If I want to buy this, what should I do before giving a deposit. Thanks ahead.

Hi there,
Personally I would like to wait till I can physically see the vehicle.
I would specify subject to your aproval of the vehicle, and only hand over the minimum deposit to secure the vehicle.
Make sure it has 2 keys.
It is always better to see the vehicle, get a pre purchase inspection, and then negotiate any repairs as necessary.
