Hey guys. It's been a while! Hope all is doing well. I am posting about this car that is going thru manheim auction today in Palm Beach Fl. It has 34k miles and is a 1 owner. It has a condition report of 1.3 out of 5 possible points. Sounds pretty bad. It does have a prev accident on the front but was repaired. Car looks pretty nice in and out but 2 things are bringing it down. The report says the coolant light is on and engine vibration reported. I know it's a diesel but should be pretty darn smooth. These cars are fairly rare I know any thoughts on these issues? I guess worst case scenario it has run hot and has a bad motor

Doubt it. Probably bad mounts and some thing as stupid as a coolant hose or bad rad

Description indicates structural damage and poorly done repair to right front.

It will take a lot of $s to make right and it us an expensive vehicle already.

Crashed and trashed, it sounds like. Unless you have a DAS Xentry diagnostic computer, and oodles of free time to burn, run, do not walk, to the nearest exit.
