Thanks Gordy, Thats about what I was thinking, but its good to get confirmation. Another thing that makes me a tad nervous about this particular car, when I opened the trunk, there was obvious rust on the spare wheel. So there has been water in the trunk. There is also a musty smell in the trunk. Not so obvious in the front. Anyway, I strongly suspect the car has been in a flood. I think I'll pass on this one.
