I'm planning to buy this car tomorrow if the safety and emissions inspections I'm paying for don't turn up anything too scary. I'd appreciate any thoughts on whether it sounds like a good deal ... or things to watch for.
Car is for daughter and will be the third brick in my driveway. Wow, I'm already anticipating my brickboard visits.
for $1,200:
-92 240 sedan with 184K, auto
-body looks good. no visible rust except for surface rust along a side gash
-white paint looks good
-exhaust looks ok
-real solid feel on the road, ran well, engine temp looked good
-rear-end noise over bumps
-brakes recently done, work great
-a/c cycles on and off, not counting on that being much good
-loose belts and I'm sure I'll be in there cleaning/swapping hoses, flame trap etc
-3 good tires, 1 borderline
-didn't notice any leaks
-power windows work fine.
-some trim missing
-lenses clear
-cloth seats in good shape.
-they've had it for 2 years, from original owner, say they have all records, but I didnt see them tonight.
Thanks folks.
I'm sure I'll be seeing y'all soon.
