Default Does anyone live near Johnstown?

Hey all!

My name is Nathan. I reside in Colorado, but I am currently in Kuwait with the Navy .

I am checking out a 2002 NFR at
DENNY DOTSON AUTOMOTIVE
907 WEST COSHOCTON STREET
JOHNSTOWN, OH

I would appreciate it greatly if somebody could go down there and get an in-person inspection for me. Just to make sure I'm not putting money on a lemon.

Just talk to Lyle Dotson and he'll understand.

Thank you very much guys!

MrClean and I were out there Sunday (Denney's)to look around if it is the place on Rt62. We did not see an S. He always has performance stuff there. You must be carefull there though since most of his stuff is from out of state auctions. We saw 2 evo's there, both have been wrecked. Just be carefull there. I can go look at it if I have time since I am 15 to 20 minutes away.

BTW, try to do a Carfax on it or have him provide one to you to see where it came from etc.

Did the carfax,

-One actual owner, bought it from Jay Pontiac, Bedford, OH. Regularly serviced, then traded in to a dealer.
-That dealer tried to sell it and put 150mi in test drives, then sold it to Dotson
-Dotson has had it for two months.

This Carfax thing is the shizzle!

Just looked this S up. It is the place that I thought. I looked at the photos and in the one picture looking head on, the hood does not line up at the leading edge. This could just be a needed adjustment. This car was a leased car purchased through auction. Even though they state One owner, Carfax shows this one changing hands a few times. This car started out in Cleveland. Knowing where it's at, it is a must to have it looked at and get the valve cover pulled to look at the retainers. The owner is probably driving the sh##t out of it. BTW, you should be able to deal on it and the hartop is a big plus.
