questions regarding 2003 potential G55 purchase
Have several questions regarding my possible 2003 G55 purchase.
1. Any potential common problems encountered?
2. The one I plan to buy has 24" wheels, not my cup of tea, but owner said this set off the ABS light. I wonder if this is the case.
3. The owner also disclosed that it has bad oil sensor which needs replacement. He said that because of this faulty sensor, the car can just stop if it reads no oil. Big issue if that is the case or this may be related to something else more major?
4. It is a Canadian car so there are some minor rusts on the the under carriage.
Is it a good buy, it is priced around $45K?
Thanks guy

2.Had 22" when I bought mine and seemed like riding on rock tires. Switch to 2011 19" wheels and rides smooth. Think should of just bought stock 18" since there are no AT tires for 19" wheels.
3. Like JJCTHE1 said, I would never buy a G or any other car that is not care for. Look for a garage queen. I've seen 200k mile G that look new, no issues, and we'll maintained.
4.I'm into muscle/classic cars and would say rust is the number 1 no no.
5. How many miles? If miles are high then price seemed steep.
Sound like you need to come to CA for a no rust G
