Passenger wiper blade needs to be replaced.
Screw in rear tire tread. Probably can be plugged.
Nothing major wrong.
It's sitting in our driveway right now. Sneaky salesman. Letting us take it home so we'll grow to love it.
So do you want to come down and negotiate for us tomorrow morning? It's totally out of both of our personalities.
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention is that the radio stations were preset to 1-NPR 2- Classical 3-Classical 4-Talk 5-Oldies (80's music) and 6-another 80's station. Would the salesmen go through the trouble of presetting the stations to make it seem like an old lady had this car?
There were two Hershey Kisses under the jack, and some spilled clean kitty litter. I wonder if that was for traction, or spilled groceries.
Our daughter is unimpressed with the car. She liked the minivan.

no, but that's a really good idea!
kitty litter might have been from her 37 cats! is there any pet smell or mildew noticeable?
and, it's ok if you don't negotiate. $7500 is a fair price. There is a certain amount of peer pressure that people apply when they hear that someone bought a car. and a good bit of monday morning quarterbacking goes on too.
If you like the car, buy it. maybe you can use the mechanical issues as negotiating chips. that may be more comfortable for you. the car has to have a working spare to pass inspection. demand a new full spare, a fixed or replaced tire where the screw is, and 2 new wiper blades.
