Well, I'm certainly not even close, and I know you got a blunt reply here, albeit does have some wisdom-considering you are doing this after-the-fact. But, your last sentence kind of sucks, as long as we're on the holiday theme. The comment about having too high of expectations asking for this help is a bit out of line, IMO, considering it is the Christmas holiday, and Colorado Springs isn't maybe a spot where many RLers live.
Thanks anyways.

You know thats kinda a BS view. It does suck when someone backs out of a purchase on ebay, but he wants to make sure the car he bought is as described, before should be the proper time to do that, but if he does it post and finds out its nothing like the add, well he has every reason not to pay. Why honor an agreement to purchase a car when the seller wasn't honest to begin with?

Guys, look at picture #6. The picture of the under side of the car that is shown upside down.... Notice the oil line? IT'S CRUSHED. WTF's with that? I'm sure our buyer has reason to be concerned, but not about our precious little ebay.

I also have one more question. I usually pay for the car in person. If end up not flying there, what would be the safest way to pay for the car and receive the paper work?

What do you guys thing about me driving it back from CO to San Francisco. Let's say if mechanically the car is good, will I see a lot of snow, chain control, cops on the way?

Just got off the phone with a fellow rennlister that is an hour or so north of you. He says if all else fails he would go look at it.
What about Salukijac's offer to go look?

It would be great if your friend can take a look at it. Once again, just let me know how I can compensate.

With all these storm waves, chances are pretty good you'll see white stuff over any of the passes. It depend on if you can time the trip based on weather, and not a schedule you need to keep.

With the storms its little worrisome, so it all comes down if I will have a good word from somebody who takes a look at it, to make sure that it is a "daily driver" as the seller described to me.

Sorry guys, I've been dealing with a family emergency. Had to get the wife to the airport yesterday in the middle of opening x-mas presents. Hadn't checked Rennlist for a bit.
BTMY, I never got the address, all I got was the zip code which is 10-15 minutes away from my house. If you send the seller's info, I can get in touch with him and set something up. I was under the impression it was coming.
I have to warn you, father in law's health is deteriorating rapidly and I might have to get on a airplane within minutes notice.
Let me know.

Man, what a cluster.
Pay a local Porsche mechanic to check the car out for you.
You're in this deep already.
Hope I didn't hurt your feelings.
