Sounds like I need to tell someone to talk to you... Don't worry, that's a good thing. You have something in common.

I bought a TII that was in very good shape outside of a few things. I put around $3500 into it on top of the $3000 for the car and I have only driven it once. :/ Anyhow, check for things to see how the car was cared for. Is the oild darker than mud? How about the carpet. Does it have nasty stains all over? Are the seats ripped? Here is one that will tell you that you have a good car, do the doors shut nicely without slamming them, meaning using little effort? If the car seems to be cared for, then chances are, you have a good car. Here is one, do the air controls work good (hot, cold, defrost, etc)? Look for rust on the underside of the car too. Those are just some things to think about.

the shell is really good but the paint is faded so it looks flat red but thats nothing to worry about at the momment, also the carpet and inside is clean and complete, no crack on the dash , no ripped seats, everything is intact cept for one of the rear storage bin lids that broke off. any other personal sugestions from you readers???
