unfortunately, my 81 year old father in law can't do that and I"m hours away. Sorry.
I would be shocked if there was rust since it's been in the south, inland, and almost always garaged. The last time I bought a car out of town, we negotiated the price via phone/email pending an inspection. Then I had the owner run it over to a local shop of my choice, where I paid the shop to inspect it. That way, you aren't making a long drive for nothing. Just a suggestion.
