Can Someone in Denver check out a car for me?

I'm potentially looking at an M491 cabrio Carrera but I'd like to have someone give it a look and a drive before I proceed to official PPI. Anyone feel like having a look at this car for me? pm me for details.

Thanks!
Chris

edit: car is actually in Westminster.

Chris,

Email me at gradyclayathotmaildotcom. I need to go out to Westminster to buy some Porsche books. Give me more details. I’ll be glad to help.

Best,
Grady

Hey guys, thanks for the offers. No response yet from the seller as to inspections before proceeding with purchase details. Seeing as this was an ebay car, I'm suspicious it may be a scam.

Ok, now I'm sure it's a scam. After several emails back and forth with the seller, asking if either of the fine people in this thread who offerred to look at the car for me could come by this weekend to check it out, the seller finally states that while the car's in Denver, he's actually living in Hawaii. Furthermore, I asked him what he was looking to get for the car since it attracted no bids. He said $4500, sale was being forced due to a bank loan. Yeah, right. An 89 M491 cabrio with 78K miles on it. He could walk into any dealership in Denver and get $15K for it. Hell, he could probably sell it wholesale at auction for twice his "asking" price.

Anyway, the ebay item # is 170077998030. So far he hasn't relisted it yet, but watch out if he does! Interestingly enough, the listing states the engine as 4 cylinders. I wonder if he's selling a shell and some VW engine on a pallette beside it?!

Thanks Grady and Jerry for your offers to check it out - sorry I couldn't take you up on them!

Chris
