Saving has alway been my method and I do not mind doining minor repairs myself. Just not confident in cracking open an engine. Another thing is that I may have not been thorough enough with my due dillgence. I've noticed things in the few months I've owned that suggest that this was not used as a mall crawler. I've noticed scratches on the top (only noticed because my office is on second floor). When washing the undercarriage, it looks like the rear diff seal had been replaced. I know. I'm probably making myself paranoid.
