Hi Pat,
I understand your situation as I am going thru it with a 1993 CSE!
I guess there are two ways to buy a car. 1. Using your gut feelings, that's how I always bought Saabs and I am on my fourth one and never got hurt!
2. Get it checked out and spend a little money for the dealer inspection.
This will give you some leverage when negotiating price.
3. I always try and figure out the situation on why they are selling the car. (most important) I do this as I'm studing all service records. Because I want to be sure the car was well maintained.
4. Lastly, after all research is finished I will come up with a number that I will pay for it and that's it! (easy to say hard to do if you really want the car!)
5. Did you go to http://www.edmunds.com and price it out?
If you look on may 19th post you will see several post about my frustrations and fears but the car I decided to buy was 93 CSE with 117,000 miles for $3,600 it had 4 major repairs in the last couple of years.
If I can be of any more help let me know.
