Deal

You got a GREAT deal!! Just check to make sure the campaigns have been done on the car and change the trans fluid either now or at 30k, assuming it's an auto.

If it has Potenza's on the rims...thats what I'd replace to start....those tires are dangerous if you live anywhere with less than perfect weather...

I've heard the crapotenzas refered to as " dangerous" before but honestly cant say i feel that way.
Granted they are TERRIBLE in snow, not very good in rain but decent when dry. I've got about 21 K miles and they seem to have at least half tread left ( rotated 3x since new) but lately under hard accelaration even on dry pavement they will not hold. Hard to beleive these tires cost about $160, when I replace them it won't be with another set of these.

you got a great deal man, buying from a person is alot cheaper than buying it from the dealer, less paper work, and less people you have to go through. i got mine with 11k with leather, heated steering and seats for 22k, so you got a awsome deal!!!
