Good Evening All..
Found this forum online and that it was good place to find out more about the P5 and its reliability. I recently looked at purchasing a 2002 white P5 with 78K auto for about $4500. I took it for a test drive and it seemed good with some minor issues for a used car (such as needs alignment, possible rear brakes, vibration from wheels which possibly might be from wheels that need to be rebalanced). I did not some minor rust in the engine bay and more on the bottom of the drivers side door. I checked for more rust underneath the car and noticed some minor rust...nothing of the the ordinary especially after the winter we had here in NY. The engine seemed peppy and tranny felt fine. I did notice an issue with the sunroof sliding back into the roof....It feels like the rubber around the sunroof catches the back of the roof causing it to get stuck and not slide in...however when you give it a push down it functions normally.
Can you guys offer any insight and what do to for on these cars? What are some common issues with these cars? How much should I be paying for this car?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated?
