Default Re: Pre-Purchase inspection in OC, CA

Car is still a steal at it's current price even with ailments!
Perhaps with it running so poorly, you might be able to get them a bit lower.
Don't get into analysis paralysis, or you may find someone else steps up with a check book and flatbeds it home and fixes a few easy things and ends up with an essentially new 28 year old car for less than half of it's original sticker. It could have sold to the first owner for closer to 100k!
It likely "rolled" across the BJ auction and sold for much more than they are asking now.
Rarely, not impossible, but extremely rare, could there be any significant engine damage to a 300 mile LT-5.
If I didn't have so many here already, I would be all over it at that price.
Just sayin...............
