Davy, davy, davy, can you understand anything written? If I was selling and
you ask me for receipts there wouldn`t be any. Do you understand that?
People don`t have to cough up the cars record if they don`t want to. Do you
understand that? A day in the shop is to change a light bulb, to find a
problem in the computer is a week if you`re lucky. Now if you read the post
and didn`t need to piss in my beer you would know that they can get that
from the dealer, any GM dealer, or a friend that works where they have
access to a GM link (may not even need that). You can also get body damage
that was not repaired buy a GM dealer, it`s all on WEBTV, right?
If you consider that the car had to go about 50 miles a day, every day, to
acquire that kind of mileage, my guess is that it didn`t have "many
breakdowns" as you suggest.
Leave the guy alone he`s trying to buy/sell a car and ask for some impute,
not your theories, argumentative banter, or conjecture.
Go paint those plastic wheel wells.

Thanks, "Dad" My 99 C-5 Convertible only saw 36,000 miles during my lease,
and other than eating oil, was very reliable. I`m looking at an E-bay
florida car, silver over gray, and from the photos, it looks above average
on cosmetics. This is an automatic, not my first choice, but I figured
that if 100,000 miles wasn`t too much, I could use this car until I
ultimately determine whether a C-6 is in my future or the oldest F355 ( I
figure 2006 on that decision). Plus, this year has been a crappy earnings
year for me, so it would be one way of cutting back and being fiscally
conservative, without completely abandoning fun (my daily driver is a 99
S-420, definitely NOT a fun car)
