I would have skipped it too unless I did a lot more digging through it. You never know what the previous owner may have done or screwed up.

I hear ya on the beater thing.... I'm driving a 'so neglected it's beyond embarrassing' Honda Accord while I'm working on my MR2. It's killing me.

Yeah the guys at the dealership started being pretty dodgy when I asked if I could check the compression, too. Makes me think there's a bhg issue because I asked if they checked the compression and he said yeah, it's all good across the board. I asked if they saved the report and then he was all no, they don't save those. I said I'd have to check the compression then and he says well you'd have to pay us to run it through the shop, so yeah, I'm done.
