As always, have your trusted mechanic give it a careful inspection - before you buy. .. not just the safety inspection - looking for minimum legal requirements - but a road test and written cost estimates on any repairs that are due. The repair sheet might act a a bargaining chip with the seller. ... or send you looking around for something else. ... or give you peace of mind that the car is sound. I like to ask the seller : How long have you owned it ? Why are you selling it ? Their reply can be very telling. Look where the car is parked / or was normally parked for fresh oil/coolant/tranny fluid. Any rust-through / repair on the right rear door sill ? Look at and drive a few cars - even at a dealer who might be over-charging - a test drive is free research. Good luck. John T. |
