2004 Base Engine Car

[Michael B.]

A car club member just told me about a 2004 base engine, automatic car with only 2,000 miles for sale. Are there any major (or expensive) flaws in this year model to be aware of? Anything in particular that can be an unpleasant surprise?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Driver side transaxle seal will leak. Check with dealer for repair cost and to adjust your offer.

Both my 2003 automatic and 2001 manual has driver side transaxle seal leaks. (2003 around 12,000 miles, 2001 around 5000 miles)

Thanks for the "Heads Up" on that Dave.

I appreciate the good advice. However, I suspect the car has already sold as the seller has not responded to my inquires. Oh well, I wasn't looking for one anyway, just stumbled across this one.
