Default Need a local LA member to check a car out... Please please!!

Is there anyone in the LA area willing to check out a car for me? I'm all the way on the east coast but i might've found a deal of a lifetime . I'm willing to cover expenses is necessary!

I wanna get a cheap flight out there and drive back 2400 miles and if somebody could just glance over the car, i'm sure if it looks clean and drive ok it should make it!

Please guys i really need your help!

If you can call and ask the cross streets I'd be happy to check it out for you; Those houses look quite familiar.

I was tempted to look at this one. I drove a 93 LS400 for a few months after first getting my license, and kind of want another one. I opted not to get one because I don't wanna deal with the potential problems of the dash lights going out, the a/c, the bushings, speakers... the list goes on. Id rather spend a lot more and get the GS400/430 ive been wanting since I was 16.

i saw this before on craigslist. i called and the owner claims it has a salvage title because it was "bought from a charity auction". sounds like BS to me.

Because we all know that GS400s don't have any problems of any kind ever
