Advice on Potential Buy

RyDeFly · 11-17-2005, 08:33 AM

Ah, just test drove the car last night. Engine looks fine, but when I turned car off, i heard a weird clicking/thumping sound coming from behind the dash... is this possibly a radiator prob?
Another thing, it seemed a wee bit difficult to put the car into gear physically with the stick. I haven't driven a manual car for a couple years, so its entirely possible that I wasn't pushing the clutch far enough in. Still...stick didn't slip into place easily...
She drives it everyday, so i wouldn't worry about it dying after driving it twice..

Before I even remotely come to a conclusion I will have it checked out by a mechanic.

But godDAMN that was fun to drive...

getting the radiatior cleaned and replacing the possibly partially stuck thermostat might repair the problem, i,m getting this idea because of the condition the current owner describes{after driving 2 hours}
