    Wheel bearing was so bad I couldn't even hear most of the car. Needs some TLC and a tune up. Threw the torque pro on and threw these codes.

    1800 for that GP seems really cheap. He did say the oil light came on after the drive back from Colorado. I dunno. Can't hurt to look I guess.

    Nope lazy lol pull the dip sticks. Other then that the usually rocker panel rust and check the strut towers and I would make sure the trans shifts smooth. Anything else would probably be minor and simple fixes it is a 3800 after all.
