Saddly enough I think it is almost normal to find hidden surprises
in used cars. I know I always find the most interesting surprises.


It is proboboly OK to drive for a couple of days yes, but DON'Tlet
a couple of days turn into months. You definately don't want that
weel to fall off. I had a front drivers side wheel fall off at
about 60MPH on my Scirocco. I was lucky not to have wrecked the car.
 Still it was very expensive to fix. New CV joint, New rotor, new
wheel (stripped the hole in my alloy wheel) and a few other things
plus getting it towed to my mechanic.  I think it was around $300
and really sucked royally.

Be carefull
