oh... the 5.0's barely pass smog when brand new..  I never got through a smog check without replacing some sensor or two... allways cost me between 100-400 bucks to get the thing smogged.   It/they allways ran good tho.

It is a 5 spd, and the power mirrors still don't work lol.  They don't work on my cougar (same problem, they go up and left, but not down or right).. I just set them and don't worry about them.

I'm going to go down Saturday if the car is still available and 'test drive' it.  I'm also going to have them move the car and sit it there for an hour to see if the car leaks oil when it is running or when it is not running.

Does it have a single switch for both mirrors? If it does and you have the same problem on both sides, then the problem might be in the switch. There are dosens of reasons for oil leaks...Was the leaking oil red(ATF)? Personally I haven't seen a single american car without an oil leak. If the car is otherwise in good shape I wouldn't reject it because of these "small" faults.
