Thanks for the welcomes..
I picked the car up on the 29th of June and the previous owner left me 0 gas! Who sells a car and leaves 0 gas for the new owner. I mean the gas notification was on when I picked her up. I just picked it up and driving (about a quarter of a mile from the gas station) when some dumb A$$ comes into my lane and scrapes the front driver's bumper and bangs up the left fender. Just picked it up! He had a suspended license and no insurance. Went straight to jail and did not pass Go.
I finally get to pick up the car today after a month. Was going to pick it up last thursday but I decided to have the dealership give me a fresh oil change. The dealer finds a leaking RMS. (The hits just keep on rolling....) Luckily I have extended warranty...$100 deductible
Now just pulling my hair out to hopefully pick up the car sometime today. What a long journey..just hope it's all worth it!!!
