Not enough info IMO. A dealer selling a 100k miles car and says it needs nothing. That is laughable. Do your homework on both. You don't need to get rid of a car you know about to buy a 100k miles 'money pit'. Be careful!

be very careful dude, i work at an auto shop and we have these dealers bring cars in to get safty inspected, usually they come in wanting us to just slap a good sticker on it without going over it. they get these cars from auctions and there is usually a good reason that the cars ended up in an auction in the first place. meaning thats where lemons usually end up. there has never been a car that came from an auction that didnt need anything from what i have experianced. plus they usually clear the computor to get rid of the check engine light. so just be careful
