It is a long shot but looking for someone I could trust and pay to take a used car to local mechanic for inspection before I cross the country to buy the car... Also does anyone know a trustworthy shop able to do an inspection in that area?
A Toyota dealer is usually good for a prepurchase inspection and may run the vin for repair history well. However two gen3 issues are not easy to detect if a scammer is at work. Head gaskets with temporary sealer and engines with excessive oil consumption.
