I am looking at a car down there and wanted to know if any one knows a mechanic in the area that would take a look at it?

it's got 144k on the clock listed for 6500.oo but I've been chewing him down and think I've got it down to a reasonable price int he 4500ish area and just want to get it looked at before I buy it,and yes I need some place that has a lift.
The carfax lists it as being repaired by the dealer but I can't get any info on it from them until after the holidays

if you get it checked out, and it rides good and runs good, you cant go wrong with 4500 range for that car..I'd snag it up if I were you

Mileage is a little high for my tastes but the price seems to be right. I wouldnt pay anymore then 4500, think that guy in trenton w/ the blue 98z is looking for 5 and its under 100k. If you not a mechanic and dont do your own work id stay away from higher mileage cars. FYI I paid 3500 for mine, its a mutt motor but the short and long block only have around 100k on them and it was rebuilt w/ all new parts w/ a rebuilt performance rear. Id test drive it and look over the rear really well yourself before anything. You generally know how these cars should feel, just try to listen real closely on take off.
