I looked at a '96 Laredo V8 last night. It was very nice. The exterior and interior were perfect and it doesn't squeek or rattle over bumps.

I did have one concern:

The steering wheel needs to be kept about 45 degrees(first rotation) to the left to stay straight. There was only a slight pull to the right if even that.

Is this likely to be alignment or a steering wheel that was not put on correctly. If alignment, is there enough range to correct this? Also, what is adjustable? Toe-in, camber, castor?

Thanks.

If there is no pull at all this is the steering wheel. It can be aligned very easily. I can get you the instructions on that tomorrow. Have to find them firs but basicly it is lossen a nut turn a pipe and tight nut back up. If it does pull even slightly I would get it aligned first.
Hope that helps.

The steering wheel can be corrected very easily. Don't let that stop you from buying it if it is a good price and is in good shape.
