Yeah I hope everything is alright too...It is probably a good choice though...My mom and step dad bought my younger sister a '95 Cavalier witha rebuild title...Air Bags were re-packed by the repair person or place...(not sure who did the work) She hit a fuel gas truck that pulled out in front of her and did a number on the Cav, thankfully she wasn't hurt at all, and her bags didn't deploy. (I responded to the accident w/the fire dept.) When my step dad started to rebuild the car (the other insurance company paid out pretty well per that state's insurance laws) he saw the wires for the air bag sensor, but no sensor...it has one now though. All this to say, you never know what is wrong with the car.

Well.............. I talked my father into going with me yesterday and I went to look at the car.

First they weren't expecting me and I couldn't find the car? It was in the service area getting an exhaust leak fixed. I was told someone drove the car on saturday and complained about the leak so they were fixing it.

Icouldn't drive the car or even hear it run with it setting on the lift back there.

And I noticed the service tech lifted the car against the SS body kit. Damaged paint and not too good overall on the plastic kit parts in general.

I think the sales guy was thinkingthat Iwas thinking.... "And the price goes down."

But he said he would contact me when the car was ready so I can come back and look it over better plus maybe drive it?

Man sometimes those techs don't think about anything but getting that car out the door!
