A few posts down I had asked for advice on where to take a potential purchase for a PPI. Well turns out that the car with the above VIN has a "story".

The current owner (4th) fessed up about doing approx. $24k worth of damage when he slid his X into a ditch. He said they had to do some body work on rear quarter panel, replace all suspension components, front and rear bumpers and valences.

And I was all ready to go look at this car Sunday! sigh...

he did say he was being straight up with other prospective owners, not sure why he waited until now to tell me, but I'm glad he did as to not waste anyone's time. I'm sure the PPI process would have yielded this info (or he probably would have fessed up when he knew I'd insist on a PPI before we even discuss price).

Oh well, the search goes on.

BTW, he said he'd let her go for $40k. Its a SpaYellow '97 with 64xxx miles, dunno the quality of the interior or drivetrain.
