(Transmission) Dealer screwing me?? help please!!
So I went to look at an 07 touring, beautiful car, black with frost interior... nearly about to buy it but on the over night test drive i noticed between second and third gear (automatic) there was a thumping type sound. It was kind of hard to notice, but the dealer keeps wanting us to make an offer because it has a warranty. That's great and all but I 'aint buying a car if it's broke!
Any idea as to what it might be? They said they'd fix it but i feel like they're just gonna dump it off on some yahoo. Thanks!! |

Tell them you'll buy it if they fix the noise. "Because it has a warranty" they shouldn't have a problem fixing it right?
|
I have worked for a dealership for the past four years. If we get a trade-in that is under warranty we will fix it before we ever put it on the lot for sale. So, I would get them to fix it then work a deal.
|
I think that is normal.
My G makes that sound and my friend's G makes that sound too |
How is the dealer screwing you? Did he put a gun to your head?
|
+1 sound is normal. my Z does the same thing going from 2nd to 3rd...
|
Yeah, 2nd to 3rd is the nicest transition in this gearbox. Until you put the valvebody upgrade in, then they're all tits :)

hmmm it seems kind of weird that it's supposed to do that. It's not a sound that sounds good.

and they wont fix it due to this because they'll have to pay for it out of pocket. so they'll find some chump to buy it without fixing it |

well technically they're not yet, but I sometimes get the feeling that they just want my money. haha

A car does not have to be registered to be covered under warranty. Worked at several dealerships Before that car is ever put in available inventory it has to be fixed of all defects minus minor issues.
|
if it helps it has 62k on it, out of nissan warranty, and it's from a ford dealership

Don't cheap out.. Pay a little more $ up front and save yourself the headaches down the road..
(Although I don't understand why you would still be interested in this vehicle, after having driven it and noticing the shift problem....) |
this thread is not making any sense whatsoever.
