Title: Anybody from Fall River, MA (or near Boston)?
Post by: Miloslav Maun on January 06, 2005, 09:12:42
Hello everybody,

I am about to buy a Pagoda in the US (I am an European).
I have found one car in Massachussets, in Fall River (should be near Boston). I can't go there to see it.
Is there any fellow Pagoda enthusiast who would have time and enjoy looking at the car for me before I pay?
The seller seems to be a car dealer and he is going to do all the paperwork around the export for me.
I am only feeling hesitant to send the money for what I have not seen (i only saw some photos).
If there is someone who can help me, please send me an email to: muf@mail.cz and I tell you more.
I do not know how I should recompensate but we will make something up.

Muf,

Make sure you use the "Search" tool on this discussion forum to find information on overseas shipping.  Use search words like Shipping, Import, Export, or Customs.  People have had a wide variety of experiences having classic cars shipped between continents.

I sent some Massachusetts memebers e-mails asking them if they could help you with the evaluation.

Best of luck on your purchase!

The green pagoda from Fall River seems a bit suspicious. In the meantime I have talked to a fellow pagoda forum member who is selling his car, too. He lives in Southburry, Connecticut. Now I am trying to find somebody familiar with pagodas to look at this car. Will I find him? I am ready to pay a decent price for the PPI.
