true but if I have read the forums and details right about the crank sensors if the #1 crank sensor is bad it defaults to just reading from the #2 sensor so that is why the car still runs and I was able to take it for a test drive. As for the wheel bearings i dunno I never had one go bad on me and really not sure how bad it is to drive on them but not sure what another 65 miles would do to them. I could order the 05 STI bearings for it but worry I would still have the same issue after replacing them. I am considered pessimistic but prefer to be called realistic.
As for telling them a bunch of stuff to get the price down I am horrible at that, I never was too good at the haggling thing and I don't like to lie because I hope if I am honest and up front then they will be but then again they don't get their "Used Car Salesman" stereo type for no reason.
