    I'm torn now. When the offer was his car for my jeep, it was a no go. Now he has offered the car + $500 cash.

    List of things that I noticed wrong
    Key gets stuck - he has a replacement shifter just need to be installed.
    Wheel Sensor needs replacement
    Display on radio doesn't work
    Rear passenger wheel mismatches the others. (From a newer Grand Prix)
    Driver side tail light had condensation inside it

    Some of those not a big deal... As far as the radio goes just get an after market one and solve that problem. As far as the tail lights that is a very common issue. Tires mismatching can be a cosmetic problem. But dont really see any major problem with that(unless the newer GP's use 17") Wheel sensor is not that bad. It would just be a couple of hours of work. The key problem, I really couldn't help you with that...

    Tires were same size so, no issue there.

    I'm just a little scared of receiving someone else's problem.

    Better to be with the devil you know then one you don't.

    Thank you,
    Scott

    im guessing you were unable to test drive it at least? maybe take it to a shop for a inspection, see what they think, may be the best 50 to 100 bucks you spend, a little insurance.

    My test drive was a couple minutes in a walmart parking lot.

    I counter offered that we get both vehicles inspected and he could subtract the cost of the inspection from the $500 if we agreed to a trade at that time.

    Sound fair?

    Thank you,
    Scott
