Anybody knows where I can perform a pre-buy inspection of 97.5 q45t in DFW (except dealer)?

It has 95K miles. My findings were old battery (cranked up from third time only), warped rotors (vibration on steereng during braking at high speed), old tires. I guess it needs alignment as well since last was done at 75K. Maintenance records look pretty good, not up to standard of this board though.

How much is gonna be the price for the brake job? I assumed 400 for set of tires, 50 for battery and 200 for brakes. It's going to be cut from the price of course.

Well the pads are $80 per axle and Rotor truing can be $75 per axle and 4 hours labor............say $600 for brakes to do a on spec job!...........if you want the rotors indexed add $150-$200.................A $50 battery won't cut it $80 minimum, same with tires Michelin Pilot will run you $600

Then it will need shocks and possibly tension rods lots of rubber bushings.

Ok, thanks. Then it's not good price.

By the way, Dennis, do you remember by any chance this q45:

http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/...5&ck=

"1994 Q45t Beige with Tan Leather, Sunroof, Heated memory seats and wheel. Runs and Drives as new. All Books and Records since new, New Shocks, Alternator, Battery, tires, transmission cooler, belts, hoses, CD changer. Over Maintained, all synthetic fluids flushed religiously. BBS wheels. No dings, dents or chips anywhere, great sedan. Better than excellent condtion 9 1/2 out of 10 inside and out. 127K. If you are seriously looking for luxury sedan with history, this is it. T3 in Atlanta Serviced."

Looks yammy but price bites. Will try to negotiate. There are a lot should be done by this mileage to justify such price.
