But if there is a hatch lock problem, your golden! Bill has that covered.

Somehow a line got dropped.

I should have said that ... how to adjust the hatch release mechanisn to justify that kind of advise. It is almost like saying to check the tire pressure and if it is low to walk away....

After doing the math and the fact that the car is 1300 miles away, and the knowledge that there is very little service history, I am probably walking away from this car, as nice as it is.

If anyone is interested, please let me know and I will put you in touch with the dealer. He's a very nice and honest guy and great communicator.
