    that could vary from town to town and even vehicle to vehicle. I'd suggest examining them, put your finger in the exhaust pipe and check for smut, get under it and look for oil leaks, loose bolts, loose drive shaft/u-bolts, broken wires, bent stuff, anything that might catch your eye. Ask also if you can view the maintenance records.

    Really? Check for smut? Like an old rolled up copy of Hustler or something? I ain't fallin' for no bannanna in the tail pipe.
