[QUOTE="jeepjoe43, post: 428700, member: 19255"] Go through everything on a test drive, if it has a switch or a button, push it. If it has a lever, throw it. See what works and what doesn't, if the owner comes clean you have to decide if you can live with that. If they balk, walk away. Doesn't sound like this one has the storage issue. But, 5-10 years would be a concern, if it's being driven regularly, not so much. Those parts will last a long time if they get exercised regularly, but they will fail when they sit for a long time. Sounds like the master cylinder might be giving up. After 170,000k, that wouldn't surprise me. The rust IS concerning. When you go to look at it, go in with the mind-set that you are NOT going to buy it. Let the condition of the vehicle convince you that it's worth doing. [/QUOTE]
