Anyone interested in helping a Canadian, by checking out a car in your area?
Hi there.

I am a Canadian looking to purchase a car in the Bay Area (Nappa Valley), and I'd like someone with some Subaru knowledge to go and have a look at it for me, if you're willing.

I've already contacted the dealership, and they know that someone might be coming to look on my behalf.

So, if you're interested, and have a day to have a look at the car (maybe even take it for a drive, if they let you )... I'll pay you for your trouble, as well, say $30-40? (paypal)

Please PM me or respond here if you are interested.
And we'll set you up with where the car is and what i'm looking for.

Thanks!

Are we talking USD or Canadian dollars?
At any rate, best of luck to you -- I'm sure someone will be willing to help out: us BAIC folk are nice like that!

Canadian or Us Dollars?

I dunno... you tell me

and, yes, my limited experience in the Bay Area has lead me to believe what you have stated... hence my asking for help.

I would go with 90% of the Sharks players being Canadian. hahaha

My homestead is 30min from Napa and I would totally drive the car for you except that I am 8 hours away at college. I'll be home for easter though... let me know if you still need someone to test drive it then.
