Default Re: New PT owner in south Wisconsin

Do they salt the roads in the winter there? If so, I would get it undercoated. Also, if the roads are in any condition like the roads in the Chicago area (i.e. like Swiss cheese!), keep an eye on the suspension bushings. Mine broke and cost my many $$$ to replace. As well as the mulit-function switch, keep an eye on that, that is known to go out and leave you with no lights. And the wiring harness, if it's touching the wrong places, it will fizzle and your car will be dead (at least mine died right after I got off the freeway). Watch out for overheating, too. Mine did in the winter when it was below freezing. But you will find that it is a good snow car. Mine did well in Chicago as well as in the WA mountains.
