25 seems steep considering there's a dent in the roof. I wouldn't worry about the coolant level, that line is for hot coolant. Looks clean otherwise. Maybe ask for pics of the drivers seat and door panel. Hard to tell from the clip but it looks like there's some wear.

Edit: What I thought was wear on the door panel is just the pleats in the leather. Carry on.

That dent though...

Also, ask them if they include the SD card for the nav, and if so, is it A6 or A7. Just because it's nav capable, doesn't mean you'll be able to use it. One of these cards can set you back over 100 bucks from ford. I picked up an A6 off ebay for about 30 bucks though.

ya haha good catch !that one has been fixed.The price it listed for this is very close to the kelly book purchase price. so what do u think?

so u think the coolant level is fine right? i thought the coolant line should be higer than normal when the engine is hot. Do you think the coolant low maybe the blown head gasket ? if you can see the white smoke blowing from the exhaust is the reason of it?

beside of this did you notice the valves are clattering ? is it normal sound? thanks!

Since this is like 600 miles away, i want make sure it is good to deal with. The flight ticket is 350 for one way. Thanks!

Coolant level is fine. If it were empty, I would worry. Just cuz it's running, doesn't mean it's hot yet. Probably just started it up for the video.

That's not valve chatter, just the engine noise. If it had a blown head gasket, you'd know it, haha. Plus, even though it's 600 miles away, they have to warranty it for at least 30 days. At least in Massachusetts, I don't know how it is where you are, or where the car is. I doubt they'd try to scam you with a junk car though, and a blown head gasket would be hard to cover up. As long as the car looks good in person, and drives without any suspicious noises, you should be good to go.

Car should still have plenty of factory warranty on it.

Have you considered the difference in monthly payments between one of these 2 cars and a brand new base GT at 0% for 72 months financing?? Im willing to bet payments might be near the same. For example, I pay 476 for a premium auto GT, I can see a base manual GT payment being about 425-435 per month. How much are you going to pay monthly for either of those cars?

Please don't start multiple threads on the same thing. You have posted your "what do you think" in three places now. Once is sufficient.
