Greetings from the pacific northwest, was wondering if anyone in the Rochester area could verify a car that's for sale, is what is advertised, or if anyone has seen or knows the car...

don't want to dash across the country if it's something spooky / misrepresented ,
might need a hire a pre-buy inspection also... can anyone recommend someone?

thanks in advance,
david

I'm about 4 hours from there, a little too far, but if you want to send me the ad, I can usually smell a scam out.
Couple of easy things to do to prove a scam.
1. Can't talk to the seller on the phone. The BIG RED FLAG.
2. Ask for more pics of something that would be hard to do if you didn't have the car, like the inner upper closing panel, or the side of the battery box, tell him you are worried about accident damage. If the seller can't produce these pics, red flag.
3. Ask him about doing a PPI, pre-purchase inspection, triple red flag if the guy is un-willing.

Hi David,
I live in Rochester and know of most of 356's in area. send me info direct to tom356c@aol.com Tom Keating

Tom is a very good person to do the PPI. He's been involved with the cars for a long while and is a true afficianado. Just my recomendation.
Adam's points bear a lot of merit, learned through his personal experience, so you have two top 356 guys in the upstate N.Y. area to help you along.
You are in good hands.

Good luck!
