Whats the condition on the rest of the car?
2500 seems awful high if thats the asking price and the car wont stay in reverse plus mileage.

Paint and interior are excellent for the age. None of the sun damage that occurs to all these cars interiors here in Phoenix and no cracks I could see on the dash at all. Might not be the original dash. Ride is very good. No undue looseness or bumps from the suspension, Steers straight with little play in the steering and excellent brakes. Service records going back many years including every fuel fill-up. Really the only thing mechanically that concerned me was the amount of oil under the engine and the blow by.
I know these things are supposed to leak but my previous one was bone dry under the engine. Not a single leak from anything. Not the engine oil, nor coolant nor power steering. So maybe I was spoiled by an uncommon example and I need to lower my expectations somewhat.
Problem is I have limited funds and am trying not to make a mistake so even small things loom large when I consider it. I'm probably second guessing myself too much as it is. It's a fault of mine I'm sure.
