Was thinking of just a look over of the vehicle condition. It looks clean in pics, but if you know what you are doing with a camera you can make anything look good. I wouldn't expect them to allow you to do a compression test, would be nice, but highly unlikely. The car is green in color, 94 , rt/tt with 45500 miles . They have a log of what was and wasn't looked at in their shop but a few things I'm specifically looking for would be;no rust-underbody etc.,interior- at least be clean with all gadgets in working order, just don't want to waste time and money flying out if the vehicle is not worth it. I'm not looking for a project, just a good running dd. Looks like its unmolested(no mods from the pics). I would work something out to have my brothers shop do the mechanical over looking of stuff under the hood(engine) and body(transfercase,transmission,etc) when i flew in for test drive etc. My dad is actually flying in Friday to visit my brother so he is able to take a look at it then. My dad in no way is a mechanic...but will be able to compare it to my 3000gt I had which was mint before it was totaled. I understand you being down a set of wheels so don't feel obligated to take time awayr from family or work to do this. I wouldn't expect a quick look to take longer the 30 minutes. A quick start of the engine...make sure all gauges,temp and oil come up to normal operating temps, no weird engine sounds , quick glance at under body for rust if possible,look at interior for bad spots etc...test drive if you feel up for it......done. if you have the time great, if not that's fine. I appreciate your help regardless.
