PLEASE! do not buy this 20th anniv out from under me. Looking for advice

Always had a thing for the white anniv editions and i'm in the process of looking for a daily driver because 11MPG from my truck is killing me

Found this a few hours ago, talked to the guy, and i'm going to look at it tomorrow. I've already had to replace a rad support on my 97 so i know all about that. going to bring my OBDII reader to see what codes it's throwing. I'm assuming that the "BRAKE" light is on because he hasn't driven it in 1.5 yrs and the e-brake is up in the picture, so its definitely stuck. Anything else anybody can think of while i'm there?

Thanks in advance guys!!!

White/black? cant view at work, but it's modified if it's white with black interior. Just a heads up. I'd love this combo though.

if the brake light is still on with the handle all the way down then be sure there is an actual problem as the light switch is on the handle. Good luck.

For that kinda of price I'm sure they got tons of calls about it and just removed the thread. This happened when I bought my car in the MD area. I kept checking the listing like some fiend and then outta nowhere it was gone so I called them to see if it had sold and they just took it down because so many people were calling about it. I went to check it out later that day, made an offer and he accepted. There were like 3 people waiting behind me to check it out.

Worst thing that could've happened was that the guy wouldn't have picked up.

Never sleep on deals.

man when it comes to cl deals you have to be super quick on the phone... as soon as I found mine I had the sellers phone on fire... two hours latter he gave me his address so I can go and check out the car... still to this date the best $1700 i have spend on a car... but you have quick and on the spot with cash... I know that there are tons of dealers out there who hunt cl all day long and actually see the add as soon as it posted...

better luck next time... but give him a call just for the hell of it... its possible some one back out of the deal when they saw the car...
