I've just made a 200$ deposit (all figures in canadian dollars!) on a 1996 850 GLT, the balance of payment is 7300$. It has 189 000 KM. It seems in order, I buy it from the original owner who is an exec and seems to do what needs to be done (from my non-expert advise, the car is A-1, besides one thing, see Q #2)It replaces my cherooke, which itself replaced an '89 wrecked 740 (frontal collision).

#1 what do you think of the deal ?
#2 The Sunroof is leaking when you put a high pressure of water on it (car wash) I've looked at it (with my non-expert eye) and saw that there was some rust under the front metal edge of the window. I've called the dealer and he told me I should replace it with a new one (obviously, what else could he say!) which retails at 1000$!
But I've got some other advises that it could be the drain which is blocked, or that you could change some seal... or that you could sandblast that metal part... etc. all for around 200$. So when I saw that there were so many solutions to the problem I didn't think of it as a problem.
What do you think is the problem, or do you have any solution to sunroof leaking (without condemning it!)???


Thank you very much.
