The engine stuff, to me, is the big thing...

If it would have been me buying it I wouldn't have touched it, but the wife is another trusting soul... :-(

But you did say that the carpeting was worn through.. anyway all the various indications of wear an dtear on this car tell me that it must have had over 100k on it but...you just really never can be sure what you are getting until you check out the engine and examine the whole car. $1500 is alot of maoney but it could have been worse I suppose.. even if it was in good shape you'd spend more than that in a short amount of time fixing it up unless it was in super great shape.
