Anyone in Bellvue, WA--help checking out a car needed

[jjflash]

I'm thinking about buying an '88 924S in Bellvue, Washington for use as a driver and to try out autocrossing at some of the local PCA events. Car looks good in pix, supposedly has very low miles, but is at a dealership and I've discovered that the odometer is broken, so actual miles cannot be verified. I'm posting here and in some other forums to see if:

a) someone might be able to go and take a look at the car and give me a firsthand report of what it looks like "in person." I've talked to the dealer and he didn't readily cough up the info on the broken odometer until I asked him about it (Carfax report shows it has the same mileage today as it did in 2005). He claims it's been "in storage", etc. I don't really care about verifying the mileage, since it's going to be a driver, but I want to make sure the car looks as good/clean in person as it does in the pix.

b) if it looks good, then I can have the dealer take it somewhere for a PPI and so recommendations of shops in Bellvue are also needed.

I'm happy to pay someone for their time spent in going to look at the car. You can PM or email me: stp@pobox.com

TIA.
