I looked at the manual Corolla this morning. The owner says that it was stolen, they recovered it, and repaired all of the mechanical damage, but it had dents all around it like someone did it on purpose.
I checked for error codes and it had three for misfires, but the check engine light was off, so I don't know what is going on there.
I didn't test-drive it, I found a mechanic that could look at it, and they couldn't get the code to return, but the struts were bad, and that would cost $500 - 600.
The owner was asking $2,200. Blue Book is $2,100 and said that she was willing to come down $200.
I told her that I drove Mom's Camry with bad struts and it was scary, so that was critical, and I offered her $1,600.
"No."
"Have fun."
I didn't expect her to agree, just make a counter-offer.
