What the fuck. That's been ragged to shit and is probably dying.

I drive the same car, same engine, same year, but I have had no issues whatsoever with it from the 40k miles I bought it with right up to the 66666 miles I'm going to hit in the next week or so.
Check front tires and front brake disks/pads. I get a lot of front-end wear.

It's pretty obvious the current owner drove it a lot, but at least I guess he got the thing serviced on time.
We'll probably go check the thing out in the next week or so, thanks for the tip on front end stuff.

Yeah I told him to stay the fuck away from the autos, and he doesn't want an auto anyway.
