She had been talking about looking at cars at dealers. And a car that
clean looks like it has been detailed, usually by a dealer. But from
a private seller, caveat emptor and take it to an independent mechanic
for a pre-purchase evaluation.

As for the blower, I think the expense is more lots of labor, as opposed
to expensive parts. But taking it to a mechanic for that labor may turn
a bargain into an albatross.

Fay, it might be time to buy some wrenches. :)
