i am going to look at a trans am with like 95,000 miles on it today. what sort of stuff should i be looking for?

 

well, just go over the whole car, brakes, tires, suspension, if its auto check the fluid color to see if it was maintained, most important, make sure it runs good.....find out what the owner has had replaced over the years, just stuff like that

 

its at a bentley dealer. dont ask me what a trans am is doing at a bentley dealer, must have been a trade in or something. pretty funny to see the pics with a bunch of bentley's in the back lol. but i am thinking the dealer more than likely has gone through this car and made sure its in good shape because they have a reputation they need to maintain, we'll see hough.

 

Check for oil leaks at the rear of the intake/block. Check the Optispark distributer for signs of water or oil on it. Check the back of the water pump for leaks. Maybe check compression on all cylinders. If I have left anything out, I am sure someone else will chime in.

 

exhaust manifold leaks

 

oh yeah where is that bastard opti spark located?

 

the opti is in the front part of the engine by the crank

 

right behind the water pump. that is why it is so important to make sure it isn't leaking. As, it leaks right on the opti..
