Default Carlsbad CA?

Is there anyone in Carlsbad that might be able to check out a car for me? It would be greatly appreciated and you'd be saving me a trip. Even though I'd love to get away for a couple of days.

Regional, Southern California? I didn't even think about that. Sorry guys. But, I'd really like to find someone in the C4 community if I could.

Thanks and Aloha

Hi Mike
I'm looking at picking up a '96 Convertible. Low miles etc. Looks very clean in pics and all the paper and records look good. I was just hoping that I could get someone to get a quick look/drive to confirm before the shippers pick it up.

Thanks,
Mike

keep in touch...I can look at it after 2:30pm or maybe later on Sunday also. Is there a local advert and is there any specific inspection issues?

I mean I know about most of the C4 stuff like weatherstrip and underside damage, service and repairs, opti-spark etc. I'd expect a garaged low mile car to be really nice due to the fact that it never really gets hot in Carlsbad.

Mike, I got your email and pictures. I just want to thank you for checking the car out and for knowing exactly what to take pictures of. It's pretty clear that you're very knowledgeable with the C4 platform. And thank you for taking the time on a weekend to do it. Send me your mailing address in a PM so that I can send you a little Aloha in thanks.

Thanks again and if you ever need anything from the islands please let me know.

Mike R.
