good deal for a P5?

[RaiderMS3]

I cannot stress the need to take the car to an independant mechanic for a full inspection. So many times I have heard people buy cars that were owned by a little old lady who drove it to church only, and to have major s*** happen withing the first month. Hell, my dad bought a car about 15 years ago off a stealershit lot, and when he went to sell it years later, the buyer too it to a mechanic, who discovered the whole front end was replaced from the firewall forward. Knocked half the price off after that...

So find a good possibility, spend the 50-100 bucks to cover your ass in case it is a problem waiting to happen.

Welcome to the club man. If u need any help, post it here first (yes, even girl trouble...just put it in the off topic section lol). Where are u from? Each state / region has its own little forum on here, and generally there are at least a few ppl somewhat local that are more than willing to help w/ just abt anything; installation, troubleshooting, shooting the s***, etc.

Have a good time!

After reading this thread...i feel pretty good about the resale value of the P5 in your town jbird. I thought those prices seem kinda high.
