Thread: Not an owner...possible trade.

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,

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,
