Have you had a member look at a car on your behalf?

I have a question. How many members have had a fellow member initially examine a potential purchase on their behalf? There is a car I may be interested in (though I would never buy a car without seeing it with my own eyes first), but I was thinking of asking around on this site to see if there was a knowledgeable guy in the area with some extra time on his hands to possibly give the car an initial look.

I can see upsides and potential downsides to this (upside - no 10 hour ride to MAYBE see if a car is worth it, downside - potentially having a car bought out from under you that you led someone else to), and I know that there are evaluation services offered on a commercial basis, but wanted to gather opinions from others on this site and figure out if this is something I may want to do down the road.

My thought process is that I am kind of figuring that most people that would agree to look at a car for someone else would not pull some underhanded hijinx, but I wanted to check.

Just some random thoughts:

Are there good and bad experiences with this course of action out there? Is there potential for FABO to create a section for those types of services and take a cut for linking up people for this type of thing? Just wondering and trying to think of other ways to boost $$ for the site to keep the greatest car site on the web fiscally healthy. :cheers:
