I pulled up to the dealer, saw the car. Test drive.

Listened to engine close. Listened to sound of car moving. Looked under.

Not a single service record offered. No problem. No PPI. Didn't want to miss this SE and others looking in it. Bought within 3 hours of first seeing it, no major issues. Needed brakes, clutch, AOS, tune up. Drives perfect.

Gave it my own PPI, knew I wanted it, rolled those dice, pulled that trigger. Never happier with a used vehicle purchase. Had 119k on the clock.

Don't let a good deal pass you by if it's really what you want. It isn't always someone's giant problem. Sometimes a great car needs some basic maintenance.
