Thanks for the reply. I looked the vin up in several places and came up with the same and it does have a clean title. I have had several of these cars, v6 and v8 so I have a little experience with them. I am no expert but I also have a factory service manual to help me as well. I am really hoping for someone with a personal sighting or something direct to the history of the vehicle. Not that your info doesn't help, it does so thanks. Dont be deceived by the final action bid because I did not win it for that due to the reserve the seller had on it. We negotiated for two days to come up with a final number and you have to add the broker fees, almost 900 bucks, plus the shipping cost. I am in NC and the car was in LA. The vehicle is due to be delivered today or tomorrow so I am in limbo and cannot do anything at the moment.
It does look to have set for a bit. Not super worried about those type of repairs. Ill pull the engine if needed. Sometimes someone may know the story of a car is why I am asking to be honest. Thank you for the info!
Well as I said in an earlier post, the final bid was not the final price but they did come off of the reserve a little bit. This car was a trade in, there had a bunch of work done to the car, then the car failed them I guess in a way that frustrated them to the point of just getting rid of it. The car sat for almost two years it seems according to mileage and oil change records. It needs work which I expected but it is a good platform to start with and I am happy. From all my dealings with car deals, if I am happy, then it was a good deal. I am happy. The list of what is wrong is short but the plugs have never been changed and its got a couple dead coil packs, which if a dealer does will cost a ton of money and since they just had upper and lower control arms done, I think this was the last straw for the car and they traded it. I know all of this because of automotive archeology and vin tracing.
