    trigger pulled.... part way

    The sales guy just shot and sent a couple of HD videos for me:

    1) a walkaround of the car showing more details of the cosmetic issues inside & out (confirmed: it's no garage queen);
    2) stopping/restarting the engine 12 times in a row (no grinds);
    3) tires are snows, with lots of tread.
    4) says brakes are "touchy" (maybe rusty from sitting, also I expect it may need brake work anyway)

    It's only got 1 key. Oddly it's a top spec car -- I thought the top trim had pushbutton start, but I actually prefer a key, so no biggie.

    He said the parking brake light stayed illuminated when he pulled out of the parking spot, but went out after he worked the brake lever a few times. (Sticky switch or low brake fluid? Switch seems more likely.)

    Price negotiated, deposit placed. We have a deal, pending a test drive on Thursday morning. And he says if I find anything I don't like, he'll refund my deposit. ( Did I get that in writing? Hmm....)

    I'll post the gory details on Thursday, one way or another!
