That would be me.
And I guess I didn't make it clear enough in my prior post (both here and on the
DML) that Parker's mechanic verbally said to me that the angle drive was
disconnected and he was going to fix it. Implying that it was broken.

Just another reason for me to be leary of Parker and the car.

Yes the interior was almost excellent.

FYI, my car has over 87k miles and doesn't drip any fluids.
The stock brake pads were not available for me to inspect when I was there.

Did you have to fix the rust yourself or did Parker's mechanic do that?
I was told by Parker & the mechanic that they would fix that for the buyer.
Actually Parker told me it was already fixed and then when I got to the car took
theses pictures of the rust.

I hope you can see I am leary of the car because of what I saw and was told.
For your wallet's sake I also hope that it is better than what it seems.
