Thanks so much for the input!
Yeah with used car prices right now, I’m hoping with a little refreshing I can have a steal of a daily driver. Even mid mileage cars are going for ~$20-25k in my area.
The car is in a pretty rural location so I don’t know if they would allow me to take the car in to a mechanic, but that is a good idea.
We’ll see what happens, and if all goes well, will update and post pics.
