Anyone in LA that can check out a car for me?

I'm looking at a 951 on eBay, but it's in LA and I'm on the east coast, so I can't go look at it myself. Is there anyone in the LA area who would be willing to go take a look at it for me and let me know if it's worth buying?

This is the one:

Thanks,

The left rear wheel is not original and looks to be either an 88 or above or an 86 front wheel (7*16). The car looks like a POS - no offense. It's being sold by a used car dealer in a bad part of town to boot.

Thanks guys, I didn't spot that the wheels don't match. I guess I'll pass on this one.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Matt I'll figure it out eventually, but the general concensus is that it's not bad, just odd.
