Houston, we have a problem

Not really a problem, but a request.

Anybody near Houston Greenway that could take a look at a car for me? I'm looking at a 2011 and would just like to verify the dealer's description.

Thanks

If you post the VIN number, someone on the forum will look up the features and options for you .

Thanks. I am a bit more concerned with condition. The dealer has sent me the spec sheet but I'm not sure if his "like new" means "like new" or "like it looks as if it had been new ten years ago."

I obviously wouldn't hold the kind Houstonite to their description but I'd rather not waste a trip to find out that the tires are mismatched and the fender has been repainted badly. Pictures are great, but a hands on view by an enthusiast is better.

I've done that here in DC for a few folks and the dealer's descriptions varied from "spot on" to "that can't be the same car in the picture."

Alternatively, thoughts on the basic integrity (can one say integrity and car dealer in the same thread?) of Greenway would be helpful too.

I live near Houston and know some people at Grennway from when I bought my E550 there last year. I will be in the vicinity next Tuesday and can look at it then if it is not too late. Which car are you interested in?
