I'm too far away to just drive out and have a look at the car.

Anyone interested / reliable enough to check a car in Brooklyn NY for some reasonable fee? It is at a tow / used car dealer on E 46th St. If this is a bad area or the shop is a known major problem, the whole deal can stop right now.

I'd be looking for a walk around, poke under the car for rust and a general visual condition check, this would be something a more serious home car person would be able to accomplish.

If the car passes what I'm looking for and I can come together with the seller on $ I'd work out some way to drive / tow / ship back.
