thanks for all the advice. I drove this 91 and it has been repainted to white from burgandy. It had been damaged in the front end, but all had been replaced. I'll get it checked out today by Chets in Sacto. It drives, nice, and cruises at 70 on the freeway. I might be getting too eager to buy. Maybe I will offer her $6K. Did a carfax on it and it fits the story she said.
