I know what the top end of Japanese cars sound like and you would never buy one if they sounded like this. Let me tell you, it sounds like a typewriter with no lubricant. The last problem I found was when I started the car on Sunday morning when the engine was cold. Either way, changing the transmission fluid in this car is simple, 15 minute procedure and 3.5 quarts. The service place lied and the dealer didn’t know it. The dealer told the service place to print out that they serviced it even though they didn’t, 3. Motor looks as expected, brand new, transmission is old and about a half inch over the line. On the way home I needed to stop, get some fuel( half tank when I purchased) and I decide I am going to be safe and check the motor and transmission oil. Whatever, I go in and do the paperwork, he hands me the Carfax, I see that the car was just serviced, motor and transmission oil, I’m happy with everything so I purchase and head home. I notice while driving the passenger side mirror doesn’t work and just figured it’s a used car, although I did ask twice before the down payment if anything was wrong and the answer was no. A plate gets put on the car and we go for a ride, starts up nice, everything seems in pretty good shape, only has 49,000 miles on it so what could really be wrong. The trip goes well, arrive at the dealership and the car is warm? I think maybe they put gas in or we’re going over it, I don’t think to much of it. The day I am driving out to see the car ( 10:30am) I get a call from the salesman asking when will I be there, I all ready had numerous conversations with him and multiple times told him I would be there around 11:30. Not a real big deal but now I was close to the limit on the card and I didn’t want that reporting negatively on my credit report. I check my statement the next day and 2 k was put on it. I told the salesman I wanted to put $1,000 down on my credit card, I was clear, no bones about it. I didn’t have time to drive (2hrs) to check out the car so for the first and last time in my life I placed a down payment to hold the car until I could go out. I had a hard time finding what I needed in Pittsburgh and I found the van I wanted at Kelly’s in Canton, Ohio. To preface, I have been working on my own cars for 30+ years, I am in no way a certified mechanic, but I have a decent amount of knowledge. I don’t enjoy leaving poor reviews but in this case I have to so others may be more knowledgeable when buying used.
