I looked at a 240sx SE today. It's real clean inside and out, few nicks from from rocks but thats it. I noticed that when I drove it that the steering wheel shook a lot while driving. Does it just need an alignment or would it be something else? Also i looked in the trunk for rust because it has a spoiler. There was water leaking in from the spoiler but there was no rust yet. How hard is it to fix or how much would it cost??? Also he showed me the paper work for everything that was fixed when he bought the car. It was hard to read the mechanics writing but the timing chains have been replaced and something that looked like Sprocket C. What is that?? It had a bunch of seals replaced too. My friend looked under the car and said that he noticed a bunch of oil/grease around the differential. It could have been leaking before and then got seals replaced and still had the oil all around it. He had all the work done about 8 months ago. The clutch was also slipping. How much for a new clutch to be put in?? The guy said the lowest he would go was $4500. Also  he said the sunroof handle/popper was broke. How much is that??  Car seems real good except for that stuff. Please help me out.
