Just looked at the one in Charlotte. The dip stick smokes and he can't say if TB has been changed. It's got 177,000 on it, so I would think if it hadn't, it would of gone by now.
Any thoughts?

Expand on your thoughts flunky. Did not see a PM. Just came back from another view of the Charlotte V70, took the Misses with me. Drove and rode just like the 06 I have EXCEPT, it is in need of axles. If that is what the shimmy under load would be. Still might go see the other, it is just 2 hours away.

$5000 for a 180k miles vehicle? I won't spend more than two grands on such high miles car, no matter how well it looks inside. The one on Greeville I don't like much the seller's description, and he did play with the turbo and perhaps other things. If it's that expensive, come here in Canada, a 100k miles will ask about $5000 canadian (or $4000 usd)
