2004 GT Silver. 135k miles, new tires, brakes about a year old, rear and front struts replaced within 3 years. Both front bearings are new. Interior looks clean.
The son owned the car for the last 3 years and stepped to a new truck. I spoke with the father who is a mechanic and bought it from the son to get him out from under it. He said his son was very anal about taking good care of it.
He said it has a small exhaust leak where the pipe hooks to muffler. Said if he would take it to Tuffy and have them replace it from the cat back. $4100.
Or, if I want to take it as is he would sell it for $3900.
I think I'm only a little eh because the engine looks dirty compared to the nice clean ones you see in a lot of pics but that's probably nothing but a bit of detailing right? I shouldn't let that sway my opinion.
All the other ones I've looked at and have been calling on are either scammers, mini dealers, lots have negative incidents on the carfax reports, some were big differences in miles compared to what they stated in the adds, etc.
It's about 1.5 hours away so I want to be pretty sure I want it before making the drive.
Thoughts?
