The IMS is different. But, then again if you hear the marbles it's already too late...


How old are the tires? If they are 6 years old or older, they are probably dry rotted. You will need to change the brake fluid and filters immediately too.

I'd buy the car. Just go into it with your eyes open.

Oops I didn't mean to put RMS. But the tires are older and slightly cupped so straight away I'm going to put on new rubber, do a four wheel alignment, sway bar links and complete the 90k service. Then I'll be starting fresh with a car all caught up on maintenance.
