Thanks- I think I am getting the message.

- find a private seller
- 40K is high end of current market for an 82 SC
- car at the price should be documented and unblemished

The car iin question has some blemishes:
- AC is not working
- Sunroof motor makes sound but roof does not work
- car was painted and some signs of prior body repair from an accident ( not on car fax- could be prior to 94? )
- Idle hangs and RPM will slowly float down when car is at rest ( vacuum issue?)
- Motor felt a little soft to me

The PPI with a valve cover remove to check the head studs is not cheap...so maybe this car is a pass. I had hoped I could find him an excellent 87-88 Carrera Coupe driver car for that money. No sense in rushing into a bad situation.

Thanks guys,,,
