The look on his face, when the garage opened, I will never forget. He is 78 now and loves the car.
I have replaced the IMS bearing for peace of mind & recently did the water pump & low temp thermostat & engine mount.
Overall the vehicle is reliable & well cared for.
Definitely recommend a PPI by a qualified P car mechanic.
Be careful what you buy and it will serve you well. Buy bad & you will pay$$$$
Nice Story Dave. Like hearing stuff like that. Similar story except with my 18 year
old son.
