A pre-purchase inspection has been arranged

The car has decals--the car is thoroughly decaled. She's 11 years old and has driven 195,000 miles. But her name is Sheila and she has service records going back years. She has been loved. I feel like I haven't searched hard enough but I also feel good about this car.

I will be upset if the inspection turns up any major problems, but tbh the sticker price is good enough where even a $2k repair would make this a pretty good deal (especially if that repair knocks out the final remaining unaddressed known defect for the model, which is a timing cover leak). But I am nervous.

I feel so guilty about my beloved Tails, who has unjustly been rendered unsafe because I didn't wash away the salt that severely corroded his underside. I will never forget the 13 years of noble service he provided.

I just took a glance at him in my driveway and teared up a bit. He was better to me than I was to him. If I do buy Sheila, she'll benefit from my heartbreak.

Man do I have strong feelings about inanimate objects.
