not to side track your thread...
as a dealer now, we had to go through some interesting stuff through AMVIC (Alberta Motor Vehicles Industry Council) just to get licensed as a dealership. It was a few months in the works and courses that had to be taken.
Dealerships including Used Car dealerships like ours must now run every vehicle through a Mechanical Fitness test and provide that report to the customer. This reports are good for a two week period and then must be renewed. We also have to disclose each and everything about that vehicle.
so if for example the brakes are at 50% or the valve cover is leaking, we MUST disclose this.
you do not have the same protection when buying privately, unfortunately.
I would make sure you get that vehicle inspected fully before dropping any money on it.
as a side note, I was at the dealer auction on tuesday and there were 2 cars like the one you mentioned go through. I just happened to notice them cause they are a great looking car. Not sure how much they sold for.
