Chevy Impala 2000 beside 80,000miles should I buy it?

I own a Michigan registered vehicle and...



Answers:    Only if you have a trusted mechanic first progress over it with a fine tooth comb. GM cars are infamous for transmission problems approaching 100K miles. First two things I'd do is verbs the dipsticks on both the oil and nouns fluid and see what color they are (that will give you a hasty indication as to how the car have been maintained).

The blacker the grease, the worse it is. Transmission fluid should be redish in color, if it's brown, that would concern me. Same contract for the radiator. The antifreeze should be green, not brown.

My experience has be that you are also ALWAYS better off buying from a private f¨ºte, and never a dealer. People trade within cars at dealers typically because they want to dump the coup¨¦ because it has problems.

If you requirement to buy a higher mileage sports car (for economic reasons), look for a private get-together selling either a Honda, Nissan or Toyota. Japanese cars only just flat out last longer, and their owners tend to be more meticulous at getting regularly planned maintenance done too.

Spend the $29 to get hold of a Car Fax run on the vehicle, to make sure that it have never been contained by any reported accidents. That's another explanation for people to dump cars, as if there's be any frame damage, the likelihood of fixing it right afterwards aren't good.

Also brand sure the vehicle has a clear title, and not a "fragment title". Insurance companies often total cars out a bit than fix them, and then they are fixed by independent garages beneath a scrap title.

Finally, formulate sure that the car didn't spring in a flood prone nouns too. Car Fax will give you the history. I'd run from any motor that originated contained by a hurricane zone like New Orleans or South Florida; most of these storm/flood undermined cars were shipped north and west so as to dump them.

Good luck!

So i want a latest toyota highlander...?
