Hi, I found a great car - minus the electrical problems the private seller has been telling me about.

Apparently they replaced the cd with a bigger cd changer and since then the battery seems to be draining when car is turned off, they have had it 'fixed' by a dealer, but now it is happening again.

I want to know if you have heard of similar probs. THe car only has 60K miles .. has been a suburban used car .... very good besides for that.

Do you know what causes this? Do you know the approximate price range of fixing the prob? I am trying to use this as leverage for bargaining the price down.

ALso, what do you think the value of the car is for a private seller?

Thanks!
