Best advice I can give (without knowing the year of the car) would be to make sure you take a fresh pair of pants along with you!

stum450n Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 The front, driver's side bumper isn't sitting straight so if it where me, I would be checking all the metal around there for damage, wrinkles and/or any sign of repair. He says there's no 'bleed valves' I'm guessing he means a dump valve but there is one... looks like a Bailey DV (silver bit with the blue hoses). No mention of SH??? Check the state of the oil on the dipstick, always a good check for how recently it's been serviced. (check under the cap as well). On a model this age, I would also be paying close attention to the rear arches. They don't rust as much as other cars but this is a common spot for it. TBH, the guy just doesn't seem to know a great deal about the gar so it may be completely genuine... I'm just too paranoid for my own good!
