Default Need Help Looking At Car

Anyone near San Jose/San Fran to look at a 928 for me? It's an 85. Need fairly quick eyes on it if anyway.
Please pm me for details.
TIA!

it checks all of the boxes for me, assuming it checks out in person. Same color scheme as my first (which was an 84).

I'm in SF and used to own an '85. Where is the car located. If close I may be able to look at it.

Thank you Rocinante - the car is right next to you in Pleasanton. The seller is heading out of town later today, but the window is open between 3:30 and 4:30. Will that work for you? I left you a pm with my phone number.

I'll check this car out in person.

My usual routine is to start the car cold, take it for a drive, and check for strange noises and leaks. I always "interview" the seller as well.

Linderpat already has some under-the-car pics, so please tell me what else should I look for? It's over to you, Best and Brightest! What say you?

Thanks Ron. You've got it covered pretty well. I'll pm the full set of pictures to you. Looking forward to getting this one on the truck and heading East!
