Hi. Thanks for everyone's input. We passed on the car. The owner was moving next day and pushing the sale too hard. Car drove and felt like a very different car from the prior year. I told my daughter "there's always another one." In fact we are looking at another, a 1990 with odometer stopped somewhere between 1995 and 1996 at 140,099. Was driven less than 10,000 miles year before that, per carfax, and can estimate under 170,000. Owner's teenage daughter was driving it and got smacked back left tail light. Pushed frame to back left door, trunk raised about an inch on that side. Daughter is going away and dad didn't want to put the money into fixing it. Being sold by autobody guy who was asking $750 as is. Starts right up and looks as if well maintained. Not registered so only could drive around his lot, but drove straight at those low speeds, and well. Auto body shop will fix it up for us, calling this not a big hit to repair, has to pull out the metal, bumper can't be re-attached but "used reinforcement cover is okay." He will do the fix and sell it to us for $1100. We are ready to go for it. Yes?
