Can someone in the SF Bay Area check out an 8 for me?

There's a used 8 I'm interested in, but the dealership is in the SF bay area (close to SFO). The dealership claims it's "IMMACULATE", but I've learned from experience that it's not a good idea to necessarily take dealers at their word with this sort of thing, so I'd really appreciate it if somebody could at least give the car a quick check over to see if it's really clean as they claim before I start seriously thinking about booking a flight down there. In return, I'll buy you some beers or lunch or something when I'm in the area.

If anyone would be willing to help me out, please PM me for details.

I'd try posting here:

I'd volunteer to help out but I'm out of town this weekend.

As has been suggested... try the regional forums.

You can find people willing to do it.
I live in NYC and bought my car in Ohio, I actually had someone that I met on this site go check out the car for me before I took the trip out there to buy the car.
