The thing was probably just old, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
About the company owned thing... 10k a year isn't bad. I just don't like the idea of someone driving (and maintaining) a car that's not theirs. How did you treat the last car you drove that wasn't yours? I know that my last Magnum rental car didn't like neutral drops....
nice! thanks man. the car is definitely gonna get a full inspection before i buy it and ill obviously give it a good test drive to make sure everything feels smooth. i know the whole business thing sucks. but im just hoping for the best and im gonna see what comes out of it. if the car has any hint of abuse then i wont go for it.
