    We had one identical to that, except it was black with dark red interior. ​
    This is actually the higher trim "Premier" model, like ours was. ​
    On this car, it is amazing how soiled the engine became in only 18k miles. ​

    Yeah, and that's one of the reasons I don't believe the mileage claim. Seller would have to prove it to me.

    That grease makes perfect sense to me. I am betting the PCV valve and breather both need changing. Also, it is not uncommon to find warped valve covers on these slant 6 engines, since they use mechanical valve lifter that need adjusting about every 12,000 miles. The thin sheet metal of the covers warps extremely easily unless very carefully torqued to about 7 ft/lbs. More than that, or uneven torque, and that is the leak you get.

    wow! Reasonably priced and no sign of rust (which I always swore was standard equipment from the factory). Sign or not, it's from Ohio. I'd check carefully. A great deal if it is as it appears to be.
