Anyone near Rochester, Michigan?

[I.B. Washincars]

I found a vehicle on Autotrader that I may be interested in buying, but it's 350 miles away in Rochester, MI. Do I have any forum buddies that live close enough that would be willing to check it out for me?

Where the heck is Rochester Michigan?

The best I can tell, it's out in the middle of nowhere, turn left, go 20 miles and you're there.

Actually, it's NW of Detroit.

I'm 15 minutes away. What do you need checked out?

It's this car right here.

It may be all for naught. I have sent him two e-mails and phoned twice (248-933-6428) and have not gotten a single reply. He has not taken his ad on Autotrader down. I don't know if he has sold it or is sitting at home wondering why it isn't selling.

I live around the corner. Let me know if I can help. (I'm not kidding... it's two three miles away.)

Appreciate the offer, but he finally got back to me and has already sold it.

For what it's worth, I've bought two vehicles on eBay auctions, both from used car dealers, and both turned out to be very good buys. The first had no unresolved negative feedback in over a year, the second had none at all. I had both vehicles shipped to me and still came in under "Blue Book" value for purchasing from an individual.

I had a friend buy a used BMW on e-bay. He flew out to the west coast and drove it back. He got a great deal.
