    just finished taking the car for a drive. A few things kind of steering me away. Let me know your thoughts.

    1) Smelled oil while driving.
    2) Had rusted out mufflers. He told me it need a pipe but these mufflers were rotted out. I was planning to replace them and have m offer reflect that but still didn't expect them to look like that.
    3) Front bumper had a nice crack right in the center.
    4) Center piece on dash and dash near windshield were cracked. Was that from the same impact that damaged the bumper? It's in the pics but I didn't notice it before. He said he thinks his son did it when he replaced the radio.

    5) LIM gasket: He said he changed it. Looking at it I saw black plastic/rubber. I asked him about it and he said it is a metal gasket surrounded by rubber. Is that correct?
    6) Ride was kind of eh... my 2004 that had original struts and 170k rode better. He said it has new struts. Maybe that just made it stiff?

    I don't know, what do you guys think?

    I'm tempted to go look at some other 2005, 2006, etc that look nicer. I;m just working about that damn LIM. I don't want to tackle that.

    Sounds like it wasn't taken care of. I'd pass on it.
