Well j got this the other day with 100k they said ran great and it did. I bought it. They said it needed tires because of a vibrate on drive so they took of price. Got it for. 4000. Well to my knowledge found it to pour out smoke very bad to were it's going through 1 qt to 2 a day. So I told them the car was junk o ya forgot got tires and found wheels are bent too lol and it feels the wheel bearings or driveshaft is shot. So they said they will go and get me a 6 cyl if I would like and trade even should I . Thx

It sounds like you're accepting the seller's statements at face value. I wouldn't do that, especially given the experience you just mentioned. These cars are very expensive to maintain, the 550 in particular. I think you need to do better due diligence and get any potential purchases inspected by someone who knows what to look for, even if it costs you $100 or so for the assurance. It's good that they'll let you out of the sale, but don't let them sell you another lemon.
