Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!! Let's start with your PPI - have somebody that knows what they're doing do the next one! Of course you need a leakdown test - the car is almost 20 years old! The tire issue is easy - just read the date code on the sidewall, if they're older than 5 or 6 years, replace them. What on earth is item # 5? You can't "tighten" Carrera timing chain tensioners! He doesn't want to do a leakdown unless "the valves are loud," but then I read your # 7...huh? $250 to fix the A/C, huh? I don't think so! $1500 is more typical, and it could go higher than that. A engine and G-50 transmission being "rebuilt" at 90K miles? What the heck for? Your "$500" won't come close to paying for this car's problems. Man, don't walk away from this car - RUN AWAY!!!
