I bought my car from Brandywine -- Eric is the SM


I would have the car checked over before I purchased it --

How did the seller get the car

When did it last go in for service

911 can be $$$$ if stuff needs to be done -- The RMS is less than 1k to fix.

there are 2 eric. sales eric and service eric. i talked to the service eric.
i will arrange a PPI before making a 100Miles trip down there.
if i ask the seller(another dealer) to drop off the car in Brandywine, and i pay Brandywine over the phone using credit card, then have Brandywine fax me the report. you think the report will be reliable? (oberviously the seller knows the Brandywine people more than me)
also, the seller asking 35K, how much should i offer?
thanks
