I am looking at a 78 Beetle in the area but I am in FL. Looking for someone reliable to coordinate a PPI with.

Nobody cares about your cars like you do!
Fly up and inspect/buy it in person.
We don't want to hear about how you got 'cheated' because you were too cheap to do your own research.

Just googled vintage VW near Dewitt and 1 hour away is The Michigan Vintage Volkwagen Club in Plymouth. May try and get them a shout? I'm sure they have members in the area or the car may even be one of theirs?

Little harsh of a response to a guy/girl just asking for help?

Yes, but still good advice. We picked up a potential buyer from Florida at the airport and he spent the night with us. He liked/bought our car and flew home the next day. fairlady could drive his new Beetle home or rent a uHaul & trailer?

Or you could trust someone from a valued community like TheSamba... Worth asking if you don't have the money to fly around the country checking out every vehicle you're interested in.

Valid point, ya just came across strong looking from my end. Which is good sometimes I suppose. Tossed around the idea you mentioned, if you shop flights right its possible you could break even with what you would of spent paying a shipper plus gain a great experience.
