If you're concerned it was abused my first thought is change all the fluids/fliters. No SES lights and driving fine...probably OK.

Proper English would be a good start - would help you in reading the owner's manual.

LMAO. Good point. If it runs good like you say, then that's a good sign. Just do all the basica maintenance, and hopefully she'll be even better.

Follow these steps.

1.) Look the car over thoroughly.
2.) Take it for a test drive.
3.) If you can have a mechanic look at it.

THEN buy the car!

Sounds like you skipped all three of those steps.

Usually 2 black eyes and a bloody lip should be the first signs of getting beat up.... just a thought...

I think that you should throw away all the stock parts, forge the bottom end, head and cam it, followed by rebuild trans and new rear end. That way you don't have to wonder about anything.
