Thanks Ladies,
I will post pictures when I figure out how to and can get up and take some shots. I have sold cars in NJ but I was really surprised at how the purchase in Sacramento went. First thing that surprised me was that the dealer (if you can call him that) at no time disclosed that it was a repo. I sent a mechanic to have the Rialta checked out, which cost me $200. I was told after inspection that the vehicle was in fantastic shape and that I should jump on it. I purchased it sight unseen over the phone and wired the money before my arrival.
The Rialta is in gorgeous shape mechanically and it drives like a dream. We pushed it at about 78 miles an hour and we got an average of 16.5 miles per gallon. There is an intermittent leak around the skylight, the air conditioning both overhead and dash has had to be recharged. It has a solar panel but whatever took out the 12 volt charger also did in the solar panel but the company is sending the pieces to repair under warrantee. I will have the tanks checked and the water system and then I think everything will have been put to rights.
Sammy is my little Shih Tzu and he will be my travelling companion. I will write more when I stop hurting for a bit.
