    Thanks guys - your quick and helpful responses are appreciated!

    I already have an appt today at the dealership for a supercharger oil ($125 - why so expensive?) and engine oil ($26) change... and I'm also going to have them look it over.

    I'm also going to check over the tranny fluid - but I think I will just first do a change, with fear that if I do a flush it will start leaking and take a poop on me. As for coolant - I'm nervous that the flush will conclude in the same result in leaks... but we'll see. I can do the coolant change myself... but I dont want to mess with the tranny fluid change in this crappy weather.

    Your comparisson in price makes me a little uneasy. I did offer him $2800 cash, but he quickly said he can't take any lower than $3000 for it (and said he got 3 other phone calls about the car). I suppose $3000 cash is good - the interior is pretty much mint, and the only aging on the exterior is the rust and some paint chips off the front bumper.

    I still am very convinced on getting it though! I'm going to pick it up today at 2:00pm and have a 3:00pm appt at the dealership! Wish me luck!

    Alright well the guy just called me and said that its not the window motor.... its the window switch. He said something about changing the polarity and it went up and down fine... so how hard is it to replace a switch?

    Can I just buy a new switch panel on ebay for like $20 bucks and just pop it in there? That easy? Let me know ASAP! thanks.
