You can also try Craigslist for a guy that will go with you and check out the car. Might be worth it. Look under Automotive Services and place and ad.
Or, just ask good questions about the car when you bump into it. Anyone who kept good care of the car will have a lot to say about it.
Peope on CL are pretty cool overall, though. Kinda like a 21st Century Hippie crowd.
