Re: Bruce, Did you do a compression and leakdown t (archive)

I had leakdown and compression done at the local dealer ($$$$!!!) and it was officially out of spec. The dealer insisted that the car was fine and the results were due to the car sitting for a while. I may do it again soon to see if it has improved.

I paid top dollar for the car, Rosario may not agree, but.. but not many cars sell for more.

The car runs fine, some tranny noise, some oil comsumption. I see that the entire intake has been adjusted, but it does idle OK.
The only reason I am suspicious is beacause several verbal deals were made about the car, and Rosario was meant to send me some parts, spare key etc...

Several emails have gone unanswered, and phone calls only lead to more verbal promises. It has been since March and our business is still not complete. I am not angry with anyone here, Rosario is a nice guy, it was good meeting him, the car seems fine. But it is very unnerving to buy such a car and then find the seller buying another soon after he sold me mine. I hope that it is just a feeling, but sending me at least the spare key within 6 months would be nice....

Personally, I would do a compression and leakdown test on it.. Your car was for sale for quite a while. It is the one with the "M" style pinstripes, correct?? Chances are, with that kind of low mileage, it should be OK.
