Check the brakes and have the wheel hubs inspected. Otherwise you should be good. I will warn you that IF it is indeed a 97 Cutlass, I would think twice before purchasing the car. Parts are tough to find for the body and interior and the finish is kind of cheap. So long as it appears to be well maintained though you should be looking at a solid daily driver.

That is valid. I just wanted to take out the possibility of that since some people mistakenly call one car another... same way many people have called the Sunfire a Sunbird or mix up their model names. It happens lol

I thought GM started using Dexcool in 1996 though? If so, shouldn't the coolant be red?
