I'd like to thank all of you guys for your input. After digesting the enormous amount of info that was supplied, I think I will take a look at it this weekend. Bottom line for me is, the cosmetic issues are not very important to me. That car looks about 100 times nicer than my current car even with it's "beauty marks". What is important is that the car has only 129k and the interior is like new. I will be asking for service records, bottom line no records no sale. If good records are provided, and it makes it thru a PPI with no red flags I will offer $6000.00. Sound like a plan?
