I can't post my experience (too many characters), but this is the type of vehicle you can look forward to owning if you buy from them:
Test drove car - VERY LOUD squeal fro right front brakes on most stops. Front pads are at 90%, rears have 60% pad material remaining. Front rotors are discolored and grooved-they are most likely not machined nor replaced when last brake job was done. The inner brake pad shims have detached from the pads, and the right rear inner pad is missing its shim. Rear rotors are also discolored and grooved-recommend replacing brakes, all pads and rotors front and rear.
*Check Fault Codes-There are two engine fault codes-
16815-Warm up catalyst; bank 2: efficiency below thresh hold
17831-Secondary air injection system Bank 1: insufficient flow.
Additionally, there is a fault code fro the Central control module for central convenience-no communication intermittent. Advise that this may mean that this control module is starting to fail. We have seen this module fail in cases where it has gotten wet (under the seat).
Inspect left front door handle-handle seems to stick when pulled gently lubricated latch and handle, and it didn't seem to help much. Door latch striker may need adjustment or latch may be worn and binding.
X-Check Brake Fluid-fluid near minimum
**Front brake hoses are starting to crack-recommend replace.
X-Check transmission fluid and note any leaks-transmission fluid is VERY DIRTY-recommend service, appears to be long overdue
X-Check coolant-there are leaks-there is coolant under the intake manifold-likely from coolant pipe or seal.
*Coolant seepage at radiator-lower right side.
X-Note visual condition of battery, battery securement and cables-loose and installed incorrectly.
X-Check engine oil-Oil leaks at cam adjust gaskets and both rear cam plugs.
Recommend replace-oil is 1 quart low.
X-Check exterior lighting-left front running light, fog light and side marker light all not working.
X-Note wiper and washer operation-wipers are streaky
X-Breather hose has been replaced with a rubber hose that fits poorly.
