Default Re: buying pt cruiser,help please

Welcome to the forum.

A major service at 100k is something you should think about. The timing belt, water pump and drive belts could run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000.

As for the rest, if it's possible, take it to a trusted mechanic and have the steering, bearings and bushings around the front end checked out. Take it for a decent 45 minute test drive on the streets you'll be using and a short spin on a major highway to see if performs well enough for you.
