[quote=jerry rosewicz]If it were me, I would take the $1000 for a warranty and keep it in a safe for anything
the car might need. Engine and trans never seem to get any major problems.

Take the car out for at least a 30 minute drive and include the freeway. Test everything including the heated seats for problems. Note any wear and mentally deduct from the asking price. Unless the car looks and drives like a new car, you may want to get back to the forum for more feedback. Best of luck .[/quote

That is great advise Jerry. Drive it long enough and in all situations for anything to show up.

This may sound crazy but a hand wash may be a goog idea. I find that once I hand wash a car I have seen every detail from every angle. Just a thought. Good luck with the inspection.
