[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 67920, member: 54"] I agree whole heartedly with what Joedrum said, careful you don't fix it for the guy before you buy it. I had that happen to me looking at a car for sale, $1500 but running good was worth over 3k. A mechanic told the girl it needed an engine. It was running real bad, barely running actually. I looked around a bit under the hood and found the pcv valve hose split open. When I wrapped my hand around it it purred like a kitten. Unfortunately her Dad was standing right there and told her no way your selling it that cheap now. I could have made a EASY $1500 by reselling it but I wouldn't have done that to her anyway. I promise, I'm a sucker for the ladies. [/QUOTE]
