Default CONNECTICUT HELP*** Urgent

Hello,
I am in Cleveland, Ohio. I need for a member or mechanic to check out a car for me ASAP.

Located: At a Dealership in Meriden, CT 06450
It's a C5 Corvette 6 speed.

Looking for somebody to do a road test. check oil pressure guage and tempature guage. Also how strong the clutch is.

I have a signed purchase agreement for the car I just want to make sure it is as advertised before I drive all way out there with the cash. I never trust dealerships. Also, not looking for somebady to buy it from out and under me LOL

Please PM me or reply to this post.

Any help in this matter will go greatly appreciated and rewarded.

THANKS GUYS

A HUGE THANKS TO dirkdiggler350

He went to test drive it for me...oil pressure and temp were good... So it was worth the drive for me to check it further...

Wound up buying the car

Thanks to all who offered to help as well.
