Common issues to look for.
I'm looking at buying a (from what I know) well-maintained 1996 Bonneville. I've read all the posts about the coolant/intake manifold issues. Are there any other common things/problems I should look for?
Thanks!
Chris

Look at the oil pan..right where the transmission is located. Frequently the back cover will loosen and seep oil While it'* not usually a problem, it can be used as a negotiating point.
What model?

Ok..
Then make sure you read this

It'* not a bad thing..but something to consider when you read the date on the manifold and the mileage. Then look for any leaks on top of the LIM.
