I had contacted Shaun last friday about squeezing me in for a compression test monday and he said to give Drew a call to be sure i could get in. I contacted Drew to let him know when i would be coming down and he was able to squeeze me in. Went and looked/drove the potential car over the weekend and it was in what appeared to be excellent shape. In such good shape that i was about to forgoe the compression test as long as the car passed smog. Let me tell you that i am so glad i didnt. The seller, Drew and I met up at the shop this morning and started the test with great results on cylinders 1-4. But when we got to cylinders 5-8 it got a little hairy as cylinders 6/8 had low compression. My heart sank as i thought i finally got my hands on my dream car. And i will never forget Drew saying "See a couple bucks just saved you 3 grand."<br /><br />Just wanted to thank those guys for helping me out and to recommend that all you looking to purchase terminators to definitely pay a little extra to get them checked. I have looked at 4 cars at this point and each has had their own share of problems. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Stangs R Us</b> <br /><small>Member # 4495</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,4,3,18,38,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> just tell the guy to drop off 3k and have it fixed with the extra money that way its freshhhhhhh <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Stangs R Us</b> <br /><small>Member # 4495</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,4,3,18,39,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> oh and i wish i would have done this with my lightning , test drive was great so i passed on the compression test haha big mistake bit me in the ass hard <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>alexdel209</b> <br /><small>Member # 9239</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,4,3,18,46,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> yeah thats crazy how that worked out what did the seller say?
