Given the dearth of performance upgrades for my wonderful 400e, I am considering a 500e.

I've located an example with full books-'n-records. It is calling me.

Anyone have any input about what I should look for in the pre-purchase inspection? I know that this subject has been covered exhaustively in previous posts, and I have been reading them over the past few days, but just want to see if I missed anything.

Also, anyone want to assuage my fears that this car will become a sulphuruous pit into which I will be forced to ritualistically fling onerous and oppressive amounts of legal tender?

Thanks,
