Help! - Need a van in Reno, NV inspected before purchase

Post by ihatemybike »

Found a 2004 Astro AWD on Craigslist in Reno, NV that I'm interested in. Champion Chevrolet in Reno won't let me pay for the 27 point inspection over the phone. Does anyone live in the Reno area that would be willing to check the van over for me?

Should the van check out, I plan on taking Amtrak from Chicago to Reno and driving back.

Appears to have been sold before I was able to find a solution.

My wife and I are supposed to road trip through the PNW in September, maybe I'll be able to find something on the trip.
