Have you had a member look at a car on your behalf?

I would pay the reviewer in some form. Most of us have spare parts that another would enjoy. I would mainly have them inspect for rust and hidden damage, and rely mostly on close-up photos they take. It appears that most personal ebay sellers are quite honest and show close-ups of any problem areas. Not so true of companies like junkyards and tow companies, or many on craigslist. The worst are sellers who inherited a car, especially if they watched a TV show like Mecum's or went to a few car shows. The less they know of cars, the more of a bad attitude they have and think they can claim "4 barrel carb", thinking we wouldn't notice.
