Looking for pre-purchase inspection in LA

Can you guys recommend a reputable person or place in Los Angeles who could do a pre-purchase inspection on a 91 348 on my behalf? I'm in the Washington DC area.

I've had a love of Ferraris since I was in single digits. I'm a car guy that has always owned some car that was a toy albeit never a Ferrari because I couldn't afford one. I'm at the point in my life where I think I can swing it. Found one with some major red flags (good story to explain them all - the owner has been very forthcoming about them all and I have no reason to believe that they are withholding anything from me) that could be verified with a PPI. I know there are those on this board that would advise me to walk away with the knowledge I already have about the car.

Yes I'm a newbie. I've read through my348.com paying special attention to the parts about maintenance, ownership and pre-purchase inspection.

Thanks for any advice.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm open to others please keep them coming. I will start calling places within the next day or two.
I don't know who the PO was but Rick (the owner of R & S Auto on W Washington Blvd in LA) now holds the title in his name. He seemed really up-front about the car, all the bad things, all the good things, and has been the shop to care for this car for at least the last 8 years. He performed the major engine out service in December. I saw video proof of that. Rick might be on these boards. He owns a 360 CS.

Here's a link to the add and the picture from the add of the car I'm considering.

I would but honestly it would be a waste of $1500 when I can pay for a PPI from someplace that will give me an impartial assessment of looks and mechanicals. I have an idea of what the car is and I would just be looking for reassurance that what I believe matches with what is. And although I've read everything I can find about these cars, it doesn't compare to the knowledge of having owned one, driven one, worked on one. Just rather hire an expert.

 

It's nice to have my opinions reinforced. I thought Rick was being very honest. When one car guy talks to another you can tell when you're speaking the same language.

 

I did see this one. Looks like a great car though I really like the fender badge option cars. I think the badge really sets it off. I also like the ones that have been painted body color around the bottom. I understand this offends some purists but it's just my preference and I think it gives these cars a modern look. I do like bigger wheels but don't like the wheels on this car as much as the Ferrari wheels on the one I'm looking at. That would be all I would ever change. The car I'm looking at has all of these things done already. They also painted the calipers Ferrari yellow which is something subtle but I really like it because it highlights the badge.

 

Good suggestion - thanks

 

The mileage was reset to 0, you are correct. It has about 35K on it.
