Coolio, welcome and post some pictures of your new car.

Need advice and opinions on possible 03 MCS purchase by my 16 year old son. He has saved up for over 3 years cutting grass and doing odd jobs. Individual seller has agreed to $8,300, down from $9,999. Gray with 86k, 5 previous owners, and super clean. I noticed a new dipstick, new chrome wheels & run flat tires, aftermarket breather and exhaust system, and a strong vanilla air freshener hanging from mirror. While test driving, the exhaust system was thumping the underside of the car with every bump. Very annoying but the seller said there was nothing that could be done and that he turned up the volume on the radio. Took it to a reputable repair shop and the owner did a quick look-over on the rack. He said radiator is beginning to show signs of seepage, probably a pin hole. Front brakes have approximately 1K left on the pads. He pointed out the hood had been repainted. He saw some slight rusting underneath the car and said some rusting bolts could make repairs difficult. Car was purchased in Connecticut and spent first three years there before migrating to Texas. Should he close the deal or keep looking?
