Hey guys, my apologies if this post should be relocated to another area on the forum.

I am situated in Canada and am considering the purchase of a Ghia located in the Denver,Co area. I would like to find a VW guy to run out and do an inspection of the car for me. I've looked at other inspect before you buy places that claim to be nation-wide but they have really poor reviews and won't know where to really look on a Ghia for problems.

Can anyone provide any references or are themselves willing to take a look and grab a ton of pictures of the car?

Thanks,
Justin

ask Ian (that's his user name)

He lived in Colorado for a while and had a shop there, he may know someone good that's knowledgeable in the area

You might try contacting Samba member "greggearhead".
He is in Colorado Springs and very knowledgeable.
