Default Cleveland help checking out a car

Some of you might remember that I thought that I bought a 968 about 6 months ago. Well, I got screwed on that deal, luckily I got my deposit back Well I'm back in the market and there's a nice Coral Red 968 on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWA%3AIT). Any listers in that area willing to check it out, take it for a test drive, and give me a report?

Aww, RATS Tim! The timing is all off.. I'd love to help you but I work tonight and tomorrow AM leave for a 4 day vacation. Do you have any idea what suburb the car is in? (a phone number would tell me that) Plus we just got socked with 8 inches of snow and slush, (and SALT!) I doubt the owner would let it go for a drive, at least in the next few days!

If Dan can't do the job and the car doesn't sell the first time around, I'll be in Cleveland the weekend of March 19 and would be happy to scrutinize the car for you.

I am just in the Akron area as well, willing to help you out but like Dan said, with the snow we just got, I couldn't do a road test but let me know. I might go with Tony then and take a look at it with him that weekend if it goes that long. If you want, get more info and let me know, I am free this Friday after noon and all day Saturday to take a look at it, plus I can take more photos for you if you want. Just let me know, I will PM you my e-mail address/phone number if you want to do that.

Mike

Richmond Heights is not far from my parents' house (where I will be visiting). About 10-15 minutes, no freeway.

What's going on Mike? If you didn't notice, I moved from Cowlumbus to Toledo!

Hey Tony, I e-mailed you a couple of days ago to your e-mail, did you get it or not? If not, I can re-send to another account if you want. WOW, toledo, you changing jobs then? How often are you coming back to the Cleveland area then? Hope all is going well, if you don't have my e-mail, just PM me here and I can give you my info again.

I checked my PM, thanks. E-mailed you back Tim.

Hey Tim,

I live in Richmond Heights and would be glad to check it out this weekend. If it's in 44143 it can't be more than a couple of minutes away from me. I'll be happy to take a bunch of photos and give it a thorough inspection. Dan P can vouch that I know my way around these cars.

Let me know.

Mike and Skip,
thanks for your help.

Mike - Skip is going to check out the car tomorrow so you do not have to make the drive. I may take you up on the PPI offer if I have the winning bid.

Tim
