Submitting your request here was smart. I've gotten loads of help from these guys over the years.

I was lucky in that my local dealer had a tech with 30 years of experience. It cost me $93 bucks for him to give a car a lookover. He spent about an hour on each car and even took me into the shop to check out the underside. When he said buy I did. Turned out good. I've only had minor problems except for some major vadalism - another story.
