Looking at a potential 1985 300d for sale. I would like a mechanic to look at it.
I have been looking at a potential 1985 300d for sale. I would like a mechanic to look at it. It's currently at a dealership. I live about 2 1/2 hours away from the vehicle how could I set something up like this? Do I have to find a mechanic in the same town as the car? If so how do I know if the shop is even reputable?

Napa Auto Parts have what's called AutoCare centers - these indy garages are picked by the local store owners to be honest, quality shops. It's not a guarantee you'll find an honest shop, but it's sure a good step. Either call the local Napa store in that area or search the Napa website for the local AutoCare. Then call that shop, explain what you're trying to do, agree on a price for the inspection, then get it done.
I've done this on two occasions and the shop was glad to do a $100 inspection; both times, they were EXTREMELY thorough.

Napa is hard to beat. Make sure they do full vehicle rust check to include the area under the battery.
