You do not buy a car without seeing it yourself or having someone with knowledge look at it on your behalf. I assumed the car was local to you and that is worth something that I priced in.

I also thought it was religious oil changes every three K claimed. Now it is top it up with a quarter of a quart at three K? Who adds a quarter of a quart? would he not have changed the oil anyways at that point. For starters dipstick reading are not that accurate and vary by orientation of the ground in the horizontal plane.

Not trying to throw a damper on this just do not totally throw caution to the winds. It may still be a very good car.
