My immediate concern would be that seals, etc. might be dried out and cracking or ready to crack. Is this accurate? Is there something else that should be on my radar? Your wisdom and advice are welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
run the Vin to be certain there is no recall on the air bags., and try a Carfax report. If it is a roadster then ask if the top or rear window was repaired and does it have the tool you need to operate the top manual.
Test drive it. The Limited will not have the high speed pick up as the SRT6.
Look at the plastic shield under the engine; Is it oil free.
Check the A/C for proper speed as you rotate the control **** for the fan.
Does the cup holder still work on the console? Check the cigarette lighter; Many seem to disappear.
Has the car had the "sticky key" fix?
Ask if there are any modifications or after market products on the car. Check the rims for curb rash. What kind of oil was used for oil change?
I have 135,000 on my Limited automatic; no oil seal problems, no major problems of any kind.
