Allen,
Thanks for the info. I had heard that overheating was a problem. I had
heard from the same source that it is best to let the car idle for a
prolonged
time while dickering about the price to stress the cooling system. They
then said to walk away if there is ANY question about the cooling system.
That sounded a bit extreme to me. But if the cooling is such a problem, it
may not be able to be fixed even with a bunch of cash.
Do you run a stag?
