OK, maybe it wasn't so hard. Got the PPI report on the car I was interested in (finally...and after repeated calls...horrible service from the dealer doing it).

They reported the tires (which I already knew about) and brake pads being 30/90. Everything else checked out.

Oddly, the paint issue mentioned the day before was not on the report at all. So I called them back and was like WTF? The service manager said he said the tech said it looked line the front had been repainted but couldn't know for sure since the thickness gauge doesn't work on plastic (bumper) or hood (aluminum). I insisted on getting some more detail and so he went to the tech to get it. Tech basically said it looked like there might be someting going on but the front fenders and the rest of the car were all factory spec. So, I went to look at the car again today and on closer inspection I could see some touch ups on the bumper and a little on the end of the hood for rock chips. Looked like some basic touch ups and conditioning to make it look better.

Long story short...bought the car! On the drive home, the car put a huge smile on my face. The most fun I've had from a car in years.

Pictures tomorrow!
