pre-purchase car inspection in Long Island..?

[Gilles]

Note: Just thinking loud at this moment, testing the waters to see if someone here 'May' be able to help.. Is Not a 986, actually is not even a Porsche... it is a 2004 Volvo V70 wagon with 40k miles..

I love these things (on my fourth one) and use it as a daily driver but cannot justify to fly to Long Island just to check out a car, it's being offer by a dealer but will need for someone to physically stop by the dealer and do a close inspection for sub-frame rust corrosion, and general chassis hardware.

I am willing to pay a couple hundred for an hour or so (if you are local), and I have Not contacted the dealer but will ask them to put the wagon on a lift and remove the wheels for close inspection.

Am I nuts? My wife thinks so..LOL
