Well a little update for those who want it
That first one I was talking about with the coolant issue sold so it’s a no on that one which is fine because I was a bit concerned about the leak but I have found another one with a new transmission and 180k on the engine so a bit higher mileage but...
Thanks very much and yes that’s exactly right! Can’t seem to find one with less than 250k miles but thankfully I’ve found an exception so at least I’ll see what it’s about.
Seems like I should still see what’s it’s all about. Engine and transmission are good and as long as it’s a easy and/or cheap repair it wouldn’t worry me much and it should be easier for me get it for the right price. I’ll probably go check it out
That’s a pretty good idea, and yes I’ll pull codes for sure. Now the water pump was replaced in January of 2018, seems a little long ago for it to still have air in the system... right? It wouldn’t need replacing again already though, I wouldn’t think.
I asked him if there is a smell of coolant inside. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just ac condensation from working so hard in the summer heat we get down here
I’m not sure I’ll be able to tell if it’s not currently leaking. Last time he checked it he didn’t have to fill it but yes I’ll check. I’ll bring a code reader as well to see what the engine code is.
I’m not that worried about it
Using it as a way to get it cheaper was what I was thinking too so I’ll do that. Just wanted to identify whatever was the problem first
Owner said in the front, where the coolant is filled but he said ac is also there so didn’t know if it was condensation or not. He also said now that the last time he checked coolant it wasn’t low
The owner doesn’t seem to really know, he said now that he had to put coolant in twice this summer, and there was a puddle on the ground a few times... that info was coming from his son that drove the car. What do y’all think.
I’ve been browsing and there are other options as well so not the...
Thank you Joseph and that’s what I like to hear repair wise since I’m coming from an older bmw which I have put plenty of money in it over my ownership. Looks like rust is something to look out for, and I live in South Carolina on the beach so rust will happen but I’ll try to look for one with...
Ok
I’ve been seeing a few that are pretty nice all have around 160k miles including one very close to me
2003 z71 pretty nice condition
Only problem is it has a possible coolant leak so I’ll bring a code reader and see what’s the deal I guess. Owner had it since 2014 and engine light has...
Hello all!
So I'm in the market for a bigger vehicle that can tow and I can mod. (I currently own a bmw 3 series) and my search keeps bringing me back to the tahoes (2000-2006) which I like but don't know much about. Mileage on average, about 150k to 200k price point around $5,000. What...
