Default anyone from penrith??

Hey all, saw this GT for sale out at Sinclair Ford in Penrith (I think thats where it is) and seeing as my lease is up it fits the bill nicely. Only prob is, I live about 2and half hrs south of Penrith, so long way to go just to check a car out. Is there anyone on here from Penrith who might have a spare 10 min to check it out for me?? Not real fussed on how it drives, to save time, mainly just the condition of the paint, interior etc and just the general condition of it. (Mind you, if your keen to give it a squirt as well, be my guest, just really dont want to take up too much of your time)
If anyone can help, it'd really be muchly appreciated and save me a lot of driving!!

Thanks heaps
Paul

Looked at it this morning after dropping car in for warranty work.

It was wash morning at the car yard - unfortunately it hadn't been washed yet.
Theres a few small stone chips/scuffs on the paint work - but nothing to get worried about. Slight swirling in the top coat which should come out with a decent detail. There was a large dried bird carp on the upper bonnet which looks like its been there all week so this will probably have etched in as we've had no rain this week.

Car was locked but interiior looks in very good condition.

Couldn't see any dings.

Nice looking vehicle.

My tip would be find another dealership . As far as im concerned these mongrels will will **** on you any chance they get. In my opinion they are not to be trusted and you would do yourself a favour by by going elsewhere.
REALLY ! ! !
