Everything came back good as far as mechanical condition, but the car needs a lot of maintenance. It's a seal gray 2002 2.7 with 72,000 miles. The owner is not too flexible on the price, but I'm concerned with some of the necessary maintenance.
- Front rotors past spec, rear rotors .5mm away from being out of spec
- Needs and alignment
- brake fluid needs to be replaced
- front tires not far from wear indicators
- light bulbs, small crap
Where is the best place to buy rotors? I just want something as good as OE for the best price.

Use these maintenance issues in your negotiations with the seller. Tires w/alignment will be the greatest expense. There are a
ton of cars for sale and seal gray isn't exactly rare. Unless he's already got a smoking price be ready to move on.
At the same time, these are regular maintenance items no sign of a major issue.
