Ok guys and gals,
I got to slowly look her over today I mean with a flash light.
2004 XF 158,000 miles final price $2100
6 owners according car fax
See pic with details on what was replaced at 80,000
The ride: I went through all the gears and they went fine. I also did the hard brake at 60 mph and the car stayed straight as line. I then went over rail road tracks with windows down about 30 mpg no noise and then went over them again at about 15 mph and no squeaking and no rattling that I could hear. I got on her pretty good today and she rode solid and smooth. With ac on and off. Checked all the hoses I could see no cracks , no bad ends, serpentine belt looks new no cracks, I looked underneath the car saw no damage or fluids, checked oil before start up. And was clean and where it belonged.
The inspection: so I will list all that I found with pics
1. Windshield has a quarter size spot appears will need replaced it will drive me crazy.
2. The window trim as pics show it's coming off, literally going down the road I was holding it down.
3. The fog light on driver is able to be pushed in but both work fine.
4. The glove box is kept closed by a screw in the bottom
5. The fan speeds seems to have a short they work its basically slow speed, or high speed. No in between.
6.i did not find no rust anywhere. I looked under the door trim and all between the doors and around the trunk and hood.
7. The hood all works fine and the hood release all works good and solid.
8.The back inside plastic molding coming off appears it could be fixed.
9. The rear view mirror wiggles around alot just not stable sure can be fixed.
10. The side mirrors are solid and tight. Rear defrost works.
11. The windows all go up and down smooth. And also all close tight to the rubber trim.
12. Turn signals and all speakers seem to work good. As I said before heat and ac work great.
13. All the tires seem to be in good shape.
so I will include the pics I took today. And any thoughts ? My wife and I still really like the car. And dont mind doing some basic repairs. But I just dont want this to become a money pit like my jeep was. We loved our jeep but just got to the point constantly needed something. Thank you again for all the help.
