Title: Quick Inspection needed, Hawthorne CA
Post by: ctaylor738 on November 12, 2017, 21:30:51
I am ready to pull the trigger on a 230SL at a small dealer in Hawthorne.  Willing to pay for a quick check out to make sure that the car and dealer really exist before I send the money off. 

PM or email if interested.

Cheers,

CT

Hi Chuck,

I would (if in your shoes) contact the Classic Center and have someone go by to inspect the car looks like the car is (if so) only 46 miles from the Classic Centre location.

Classic Centre —-> 9 Whatney, Irvine, CA 92618, USA

Or

I would check the “Member List” (click on Members above, then Members list once it opens click on location this will sort by location. You can then page thru the list to California Members), the list sorts by location, then page thru to California Members and PM someone near the cars location. Perhaps that someone knows a shop near by that looks at Pagoda’s on the other hand most of those shops might be in the LA area.

Or

I would find a Garage near the LA area that works on German cars, I always had good luck with Euro Specialty Shops to handle issues on my German cars.

Remember, some members near where the car is located might not be looking into the forum in the foreseeable time that you need help.

Good Luck

Dieter

Chuck,


You could always see if you can get Tom Collit to go look for you. 


Nice to see you have realised that the 230SL is the purists car of choice.

Chuck,

I have just arrived back in CA from France.   I am only 10 minutes from Hawthorne as I'm in Hermosa Beach.  If it's as simple as making sure car and dealer exist, I will gladly do it. 

Send me info by PM if you want me to help - will reply with my USA mobile number.  I could go Tuesday Afternoon about 5pm.   

Of course there would be no cost to do this.
