I kinda figured the mileage looked to good to be true as it looks a little rougher than 78k. I drove it and it seemed to ride good. The steering had a good bit of play in it where I could turn the wheel a couple inches either way without doing anything. Then it seemed a touch heavy after it engaged. It also had the check light flashing for the TOD with 100% rear. Could just be tire pressure or something? It engaged low gear fine.

What do you guys think? I don't mind spending some time and $ to get it going good, but will this be constant maintenance and problems if it's really up around 150k? The price seems ok. It's at a small car lot and they don't know anything about it and are just programmed to talk their way around any questions, so no real help there. They could have switched the cluster or before they got it. They listed "exempt" on the mileage on the form they gave me because it is over 10 years old they said.

I read some of vehigators posts and I guess he had the tranny rebuilt a few years ago. Any thoughts or opinions? Always wanted one of these since a friend of mine bought one new in 02. Thanks in advance.

That's funny, since I left a deposit on it too. I put mine down on Tuesday. Shady bastards! I'm going to go get my money back.
