Ya wouldnt believe it guys, the previous owner's spotted me! We both
had a few minutes to chat so we pulled into a parking lot. Well,
interesting news about my recently acquired Carat.... :-}
new rebuilt heads(installed by the owner who IS a mechanic)
new rear main seal(ditto )
new rear brakes, inc. drums.
They religiously maintaned it within the 1 1/2 yrs they had it. I
forgot the part but some clutch thingy is new too. New window
regulator on my side.
They traveled in it quite a bit, its been up north up the grapevine a
few times.
And the cruise control is just disconnected, not broke as I thought.
He also showed me a little rust spot he had a problem with, Im glad
he did so I can watch it & fix it when it's real bad.

They said they didnt like the dealer when they dealt with them, so
they were happy to hear the dealer screwed themselves(they aint makin
a buck off me!)

I was bummed to hear there WAS a Bently under the back seat but it
was gone...the dealer nicked it! Argh!
