Viewing a car in Auburn CA

I’m considering a Carrera located in Auburn... I’m nowhere near there !
Is there someone local who could view and test drive the car for me, not a PPI, just shifting up and down through the gears and making sure it drives and pulls as it should (and isn’t parked over a puddle of oil)

Payment for your time of course

Thanks
Grant

Hi, my mother lives there and I visit often. I would be happy to check it out for free the next time I am there but that is not for a few weeks.

Gsaps,

I'm in the SF South Bay area. If you find anything in the vicinity, I would test drive it for you for free or a case of good beer. We have quite a few members up in the Sacramento area so perhaps one of them can assist there.
Yes he did, but not being from the area maybe he was unaware that a top notch air cooled shop was in town. It never hurts to be nice. He’s always free to reject our free advice.

Thanks for the replies and the suggestions and offers guys.

I might go the PPI route as I know that’s the sensible way to go... I think I’m looking at paying just out of my comfort zone for the car but have been given the “someone else is interested” line

I’m about 15 min from there. If you still want someone to look at it send me a PM. I can go just about anytime.
