well i bought it through a local mechanics shop, and they did not want to tell me who was selling it. so i was haggling the price through him. first i said $800, and he said that the seller will take no less than $1500. ahah so i know what i was up against. so i showed up like 3 weeks later and drove it again, then offered $1000. and 2 days later the guy called and said that the seller would split it at $1250 with me. Well when i went to pick up the car and title, the bill of sale had the ladies info on it. so now i know where she lives, and i think i will write her a polite letter asking if she still has any car receipts or at least some history.

i do have 2 more questions, when i accelerate quickly and make a turn, i hear a screetching sound comming what sounds like the front tires. are those bearings?

also park brake is really weak, it will barely hold the car in my driveway. what do i check there?
