Well, It means that the car had the water pump, battery, and washer fluid sensor was replaced at 68K. I think that is good news. I would go with your gut on how the car feels and drives. Also find a good quality mechanic to go over the car. Otherwise Awesome deal!

this is a great price. maybe to great. buyer beware. check and see if the title has any bad remarks like salvage, flood, reconditioned, not actual miles, true miles unknown, etc. all of these reduce the value by thousands of dollars. if the title is clean with no bad remarks, BUY IT!!!! most any musty smell in a car is bad. check to be sure it was not flooded. where did he get the car and why is he selling it two thousand below loan value. if you are satisfied with the answers and you do not want the car. call me and i will fly to fl. and buy it.

have you seen the title yet? this is the most important thing. if he is selling it for 6000, that means he paid less than that and it is worth way more. the other dealers at auction would have paid around 7500 to 8500 for this car at auction if the title and car would have been ok. something is fishy here. run a car fax on it at the very least, maybe an oasis if you get the vin number. something doesnt add up. how does this car look, is the leather ok,how about the paint. moonroof work, dents,dings burn holes. all this stuff affects the value. does it need tires. that is 500 bucks.
