I have "looked at" no less than 7 cars for both FGF asnd PY-type "friends." I do so because I like to help out. In about half the cases I have advised the potential new owner to walk away. In most of the other half I have advised that the price is fair for what they are looking for and looking at.
I have never expected, and never been compensated for, my time and "expertise." (A profession a$$.hole is quite expensive.) What I have been able to do, however, is to save a few poeple I don't know untold time and money investing is a car that I belive is beyond reasonable expecatation.
Unlerss you have an understanding or contract established ahead of time, expect nothing and be happy if that is what you get.
not only that , you also helped my daughter when she was in car need in LA, also helped her/me to sell her car when she left it at your place for several months....
also Thomas R. in SA went and looked over a TR6 for me a couple of years ago, a car I did not buy based on his info.
I also went and looked over a Caddy here in south Houston for a guy on PY...only took about 2-3 hrs....also helped a guy in Norway buy an Eldorado that was local to me, took it and had new tires put on it, delivered it to the port for shipping....
not to talk about several EBay items I have had shipped to me ,then re sent to Europe for several people there...
