How concerned should I be if he has no maintenance records but a PPI comes out clean? Appreciate any help/guidance!

Depends on how thorough the PPI is...It's a crap shoot with these cars!

it scores a 74 on autocheck, 5 owners, no accidents. A CarFax often will have more maintenance info than an AutoCheck. A PPI will tell you what you need to know if the shop knows what they are doing.

not for me, but I don’t hate it. Looks menacing. It’s in my city, if anyone is seriously interested, let me know. I’d be willing to go get eyes on it for a prospective buyer.

I agree it has its charms...but...metal found in the filter. Runs rough on cold start.

Looked through the exterior pics and said wow this looks nice.


Then I saw the horror on the interior !!!!!
Is that a serious growing of mold ?

Looks like waterline was above headlights. Engine is toast also, one more gone.

Agree on the color combo and that coolant tank is in desperate need of replacement.
