So you guys are saying to replace the valve stem seals and it's not that expensive? I'm not mechanically inclined...I would have to have it done!

I would like to answer a previous answer that I am not noticing ANY smoke at all.

What I paid for the car, I thought, was a really good price. It appears to have original miles (of 85K) and it's really clean...very pretty Garnet exterior color. I paid $9K.

Let's now take into consideration that I have to have the one rear window fixed (I just might have both "plastic window track connectors" replaced at the same time) and the cruise control fixed and the valve stem seals replaced

Is this STILL considered a good deal or did I get the "short end"?
