thanks guys for the latest comments...

VTEC I did check out the car out & I can't find anything other than the rust in the rear exhaust area. That is why in a day or two it's going to a mechanic that works on my '79 Corvette sometimes who will put it on a lift to check for any sins. I also checked all the fluids and they were all reasonably cleaned & the engine compartment was not immaculate, but was very clean. Car did not have any noticeable damage, but that is why we will take a long 2nd look at it. Also, steering felt tight, brakes were strong & engine sounded sweet but I'm not a mechanic.

I told my wife that this does look like a VG deal even with no long warranty for a V6 Coupe with 31K Miles. The Retail value is about $16K on this car and maybe $15K on the low end.
