Other then that 211k isnt that much on these vehicles IMO. Mine has 217k and still going strong and I know of at least two guys on here that are over 300k. 4995 from a dealer is good pricing but I would always try to get them down. If they cant prove TB was done tell them you will pay the asking price if they do TB and water pump.

Thanks for the heads up.
I agree with the TB comment. One of the line items on the Carfax report was Manufacturer's recommended maintenance performed at approx. 120,000. Makes one wonder what that means. I am going to go talk to the dealership later this week to see what wiggle room they have.
What and where should I look for on the rear seals to determine if there are issues?
