Just relax about the car.. It's a looker and you yourself said very well cared for. VERY few problems have gone unresolved here or ended up having to go to the dealer for repairs. And FYI .. many memebers are willing to personally help out. Adding a location to your profile is really a good idea.. And as noted, if your really not sure what your dealing with, pictures will go a long way.
Oh, and welcome to the forum.. we really are a good group here, some just get a little testy with winter..
