Need vehicle purchase inspection in MT

My daughter here in NC is considering buying a vehicle in Great Falls, MT and I don't know a soul there. She would like to get the Ford inspected by a non-partial party that lives close by. I will pay a reasonable fee to have it done to satisfy the unknowns which may lurk.
Are there any MercedesShop members in Great Falls that would like to do this for us? If so, please send me a PM.
Thank you,
Tobias MB

Gawd, so few people live in MT, let alone anyone on this forum.

Only need one person to accept the offer.

Two problems with your probablility of success.

The first is not limited to Montana. These requests pop up and presume that if someone lives in a certain state they could just drive over and check out a car. Cities in Montana can be a few hours apart. So more specificity might help.

The other problem is the assumption that just because someone has MB and is a forum member, they have the knowledge and skill to do a PPI.

I would suggest finding a local MB shop in Great Falls to do the PPI. www.superpages.com works well.

Is there something special about the car that requires such a long distance purchase? It's a Ford, aren't there some local to you. I've had enough problems with long distance purchases of vehicles that unless it was the only feasible way to purchase a vehicle, I'd stick to local sales.
Double the hesitation if it's an Ebay car.
