eviltwin,the car was sold as is.i knew of the chance i was taking.
the ball joints,bushings,struts,basicly the entire front end needed rebuilt.so that took car of the handling issues i had(so i thought).and the engine compartment was very dirty so that covered up some of the actual,repaired damage.if i didn't check the timing belt the next day,the engine would have been toast within miles.the idler roller was rusty and leaning just ready to throw the belt.
just cost quite abit for the intial maint.
i'll drive it this way for it's life if need be,it's not that bad,just a constant pull to the right.
now i've dicovered rust thru at the bottom seam from the frame to the strut tower,right next to oriface tube location.if i do keep this car that requires immediate attention.
i needed a wagon quick when i purchased this one.i had just sold my 245glt to someone who needed a car bad,and realized what a terrible mistake i'd made.
this was the 1'st decent one i'd found,even though it needed work.
i was building my house and my little 318 didn't haul much.so it was part of the deal,over 20k miles ago,still going strong.
