I posted this in the "Good MB Shops" board, with no response...so I'll re-post here.
Okay, I'm looking to buy an '85 300D from a fellow board member in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as soon as my van sells (hopefully soon; I've got a few bites that sound promising; this could happen within the month). From what he's said, it sounds like the car's in beautiful condition. However, I'm paranoid, as usual...especially since I'll be driving this car back to the San Francisco area immediately upon buying it. So, I'd like some recommendations on a good shop in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that can do a pre-purchase inspection to make sure the car's in good shape before I actually buy it. Please keep in mind that I don't know the DFW area at all; I've never even been through any part of Texas other than Amarillo, and that was when I was 13...
Again, it's not that I don't trust him; if I didn't, I wouldn't be willing to fly out there...I'm just naturally paranoid.
Thanks in advance!
