Actually I asked the question the night before I purchased it. ;-) I felt like $45k was a good price. I should be able to fix any issues and still have a good car at a fair cost. I guess I'll find out soon enough if I made a mistake or found a gem. I don't mind turning wrenches and getting dirty so perhaps I can do some of the maintenance myself. I'll start a new thread when I get the car home and do a better introduction.
