Hey guys,

I'm thinking about purchasing an 09 with sport package and 60k miles for around 18.5k.

I checked it out and body is in good condition. I drove it, and there is some rattling after 5k rpm, but apparently that's not uncommon. When I was pulling into the dealership after the test drive, I did a slow right turn and I swear I heard a clunk in the rear end. I was going very slow and steering wheel wasnt on full lock. I think I may have heard it one other time.

Is this the differential? Is this common? I'm gonna drive it again tomorrow, but I'm desperate to buy a car (wrecked old one) and this seems to be clean and a decent deal so I'm pretty ready to pull the trigger.

Thanks for reading.

 

hard to say what it is.... could be many things

 

No idea of what could cause that noise, but it's certainly not common. Before you buy that Z from the dealership, you should really track it down. Remember- there's always another (and hopefully, better) car around the corner. Don't be a desperate buyer!

 

I ended up buying the car. The "clunk" I thought I heard ended up being the plastic trim pieces near the rear speaker/strut bar.

Very happy with the car
