I would like to thank all of you for your invaluable info, and have to say how totally NEAT it is to have this kind of feedback. I will take all of your advice to heart, and let you know how the PPI goes, and if I get the car.
Ashman, it is in another part of the country, but I sure appreciate your willingness to refer me to your mechanic.
If it turns out that I get this car, I owe you all a couple of beers.
Seriously, thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge!!!!
