Thank you guys I hope that the shocks have already been replaced since it has 177K so I would think they would and I will ask if they have maintenance records. Thanks again
So from what I am hearing usually the drive train and motors in these vehicles are pretty good if well maintaned.
Well I hope so I bought another car a few years back and had to rebuild the front diff due to the ring and pinion gears breaking. I was still making payments on it while it sat in my garage for 3 months. Ouch that was a painful memory. Oh well learn from your mistakes I hope.
