Does anyone know anyone who can do a thorough pre-purchase inspection near Columbus, OH?

Also, if anyone there is local, can they contact me off line regarding the reputation of the dealer where the car in which I am interested is located?

Thanks!

You may want to google for "Kirby Palm xjs help", and look at some of the sections there.

The reality for most of us is that you will not a local wrench willing to work/inspect the scary V12 unless they are an old school jag wrench. Some of the suggestions like checking the compression are probably unrealistic if you're buying the typical deferred maintenance car, given that old V12 wiring is likely to crumble, etc.

Definitely look under the car for rust, especially around the trailing arm, door sills, rocker panels.

Good luck
