Thanks everyone. Well, she passed safety and emmissions with no issue except 2 bad tires so I just got a full set ( same tires I got on my 08 before the damn deer totaled it ) I just cleaned all the interior except carpet which I will do tomorrow. Guy that owned it was 2nd owner but was his daughters car, she is gone to college in another state and they had too many cars in the driveway with 3 other kids at home that drove. it has 145K on it and glitter everywhere inside LOL But no leaks, clean dry engine just dirty which I will detail soon.
One reason , well 2 reasons we got it. First, my dodge ram is about to roll over dead, the engine is worn out so debating a new power plant or rebuild? Sucks gas bad.
second is, we needed a second vehicle and I wanted a gas sipper which I already know the HHRs are good for that, but truth is, we are going on out first vacation and rental cars are out the roof on prices... so adding it up, it was cheaper to buy a car than renting one for the trip. What I do know is the LCA were done, new front struts, oil changed regularly. No engine noises. Timing chain unknown if was ever done before they got it, but no noise is good I suppose with regular oil changes. I still need to open the tub and check the spare, battery vent ect... The sun roof cover has a light stain around it so I need to check / blow out the drain lines if needed but she sure is pretty. I am happy with it so far.

Thank you, My birthday was 5/14... turned the big 54 and I feel it. In about 3 weeks or so I will be having surgery on my wrist, tore a couple ligaments somehow, just started having pain and loss motion/strength in my hand. Gonna be laid up 2 month after that.
