Default Bucks County PA - Anyone close by?

Hello,

I found what looks to be a nice 2004 Convertible and am almost ready to fly out to buy it.

I am in Boston, the car is in Doylestown PA, at a dealership. The car looks great in the photos and is low miles, but we all know about the photo inflation factor...

My concern: The orange paint on the car looks too good to be true. It looks to have a coat of clearcoat - don't know if this is factory - as well as pinstriping on the body, along the roof line, below the crome molding. Don't know about pinstriping either. Both could be evidence of repaint...

Car is very low miles (7K) and the dealer swears "no bodywork, ever," but looking in person is the only way to go.

I am wondering if anyone local to Doylestown could take a glance at this car before I press "send" on Orbitz.

You would earn my eternal gratitude and of course a reciprocal favor in the Boston area, if ever needed.

Is it sitting at Holberts. I currently am living closer to the city (philly) right now, but I take classes out in the doylestown direction. It is about 25 mins away from where I have my class but I could probably take a trip up there tomorrow afternoon. Let me know what dealership it is at since they will greatly affect how close I am to the car.

Sounds like Pelican18TQA4's old vert.. if it is, DO NOT BUY IT!!! He had all sorts of problems with it. PM him, I am sure he will tell you about it if you beg appropriately.

My old NBC is sitting at Holbert's still (just shy of a year now). It's a 2003 GLX and has about 16,000 miles on it if I remember correctly. Don't buy it, that's all I have to say.

Now, as for this 2004 with only 7,000 miles on it, what's the name of the dealer, I'd be more than happy to go check it out up close for ya. Just let me know, Doylestown's only about 5 minutes from my house.

Thank you, Everyone!

Earlier today I thought I would be there tomorrow (Tuesday, 01.31.06), but I've been delayed by FedEx... Looks like I will only arrive later in the week.

What I am trying to say is that - yes, if you can, please take a look: it is a 2004 NBC, Sundown Orange, 2.0, Manual 5sp. Mileage 7,400.

Dealer:

eImports4Less Auto Sales Inc.
124 West Dublin Pike (Rt 313)
Perkasie, PA 18944

Many thanks, from Boston!
