Well, she wasn't lying! Car is in great shape. 2 owners and the current owner bought it in 1997 with 22,000 miles on the odometer. She has EVERY service record dating back to when the car was new...
A couple of items of interest - the dealership replaced the transmission around 10,000 miles in '95 and also replaced the cylinder head around 19,000 miles - I think this was a head gasket replacement due to an oil leak. Anything to be concerned about?
Following mbzman's suggestions, I, and a real good mechanic friend of mine gave the car a good going over. Looks new, no oil leaking anywhere, AC works, everything works EXCEPT the cruise control - which really bums me because this will be my highway car, so I have to get it fixed. It sets but shuts off almost immediately - ACCEL and DECEL functions work, probably a bad amp, but I can't figure out the amp/coding issue. Really a big discrepancy in pricing - $475 on this site vs. $190 on AZ's site - so I'm confused??
Pictures later tonight....
