Danford1 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Does anyone live in or near Salem Missouri or know someone who does? I live in Michigan. There is a car for sale in Salem at an auto broker. I just need someone to go there and call me with Facetime or a video call. I want to see the car and hear it run etc. The person doesn't have to be knowledgeable about cars. I will ask the seller questions during the call. We can keep this Private so send me a Private message. Thanks. Danford1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danford1 Why can't you do the same thing directly with the auto broker? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danford1 Posted December 15, 2023 Author Share Posted December 15, 2023 I’ve been trying. They claim it is in the warehouse and he can’t go there he has to stay in the office. im thinking it is a scam and they don’t have the car at all. I want to have someone go there and see.

This car must be pretty special for this extraordinary request. I would think the broker would already have at least basic, exterior, interior, engine bay photos onhand to upload. I would go with your "scam" instinct and keep looking. I'm wary of to good to be true deals; they usually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danford1 Posted December 15, 2023 Author Share Posted December 15, 2023 I agree. I’m 700 miles and 14 hours away. Someone close by there can go see. I can’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinaw Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Perhaps pick up a copy of Hemming's and try and find an appraiser in their "appraiser & broker" section. You'd have to pay them of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danford1 Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 I would be paying whoever went to look at it anyway. Good idea though, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestcozy Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Consider grabbing a copy of Hemmings and explore their "appraiser & broker" section to find a qualified appraiser. Keep in mind that their services typically come with a fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) I'm about 90 minutes north of Salem, but unfortunately, I don't have the time for a 4 hour round trip. Here's a Missouri sub-forum on a Ford truck forum. There's a bunch of good guys in there, and one may be close and able to help you out: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum104/ Good luck!
