Looking for some help with purchase in Orange County

Hi -

I am looking to buy a '02 in OC and need some help. I am in Seattle, so I can not test drive the car myself. I am looking for someone who is a current owner of an M5 in OC to test drive a car for me and give me feedback. I will be happy to throw in some "reward" for it.

Please PM me if you can test drive a M5 and provide feedback. It can be done tommrow AM before 11 or after 7, or sunday.

thanks

i would suggest having autowerkes in huntington beach (714-842-2277) or another good shop do a pre-purchase inspection on it. they can probably pick up and deliver the car if the owner lives or works close enough (and he will allow it).

not a bad idea to have an owner look at it, too, but i'd be more interested in having a mechanic put a stamp of approval on it.

anyway, to your post, saturday is shot for me, and i have a kiddie birthday party for part of sunday. PM me when and where it is set for and i'll swing by if i have the time. no reward needed. ideally someone would bring a code reader.
