OOPS ..didnt lift the mat down at that end of the trunk, just up toward the top. Strut mounts.. hmmm, didn't check them. censor++.gif Battery tray had been replaced but looked to be a good job. I didn't crawl under the car to look at the floor pans or heater channels. I'll have George do that for me! lol Small oil leak, seems to be near the pan area. Engine started right up without smoking, ran strong while idling. Even I ~ the stick-shift challenged one~ was able to drive it (yes, even put it in reverse a few times **^bana0). Forgot what it's like to be without power steering though.. whew.... lol
Paint isn't nearly as nice as it is in pics or in the "very clean" description, so another buyer is going to be pretty upset if they don't look at it first... some chips , scratches, etc.. Some can be buffed, but some can't. Presume that the pic was taken when they got it 4 years ago, since there's a temp tag on the back. IMHO it would need paint. Some pitting around the window chromes, but windows line up right. Bumpers seemed good. One door doesn't lock, and the trunk opener in the glove box may have had an issue but we got trunk open. Wipers worked but washer not hooked up, lights all worked. Buzzer worked with key in ignition.
So if George gives me the ok, and it doesn't have any major serious mechanical or body issues , then I think I'm gonna go for it. I'll have him assess the shimmy too. I don't need to shake, rattle, and roll my way down the road.. #@rofl3
