Default Re: pre buy mechanical checkup

Have him check the suspension, look at all the joints, wheel bearings, etc.
Is it an automatic? If so, you should plan on having the fluid flushed (ahould be every 50,000 miles, but here we're talking years).
The rest he should know by listening to the engine and a test drive.

There are no universal rims - the tires may fit (the PT can come with 15, 16 or 17" rims and tires) but the rims won't.
