    The car from Straighhtline automotive had its PPI today and I will pass...1999 550 silver

    While the list is long the PPI team at Norwoods said its a nice car but needs some real TLC and about $10K,lol
    Pics to come tomorrow to me...

    Need two front tires immediately as the the inside walls are separating
    Entire interior is very sticky
    numerous scratches and blemishes on the exterior
    switches are all sticky
    Dash has had a repair with hide that does not match grains, not noted to the untrained eye and James at patterson says many are fixed this way
    Compression 200 across the board which is good
    leakdown was 12% on one cylinder, intake,exhaust or piston as many of you know, said not bad and many cars are higher so If Iowned the car he said he would tell me to just keep driving it but as pre purchase he thinks its coming from the exhaust side.....valve job$$$$$$ although todays ethanol fuels he says may be the culprit too.
    Head gasket leak(fixed on belt service)
    Crank shaft wet/leak....

    anyway, I am not in a hurry and it was money well spent, thnx guys! dog
