We test drove a 1999 Venture today (147,000 miles) and she runs really well. The only qualm I have is a strange humming noise anytime you touch the gas pedal. The only way I know how to describe it is a "gas lisp." LOL. Is this like an air intake problem, or something scarier (and costlier)than that??
I currently own a 1998 Venture which I am still in love with (313,000+ wonderful proud happy miles, but sadly both engine and tranny are dying on me
) and I have never had anything similar to this happen with it.
Before I consider buying it, I will definitely have my mechanic take a look at it (if it's still available Friday) but I am just wondering if it's something bigger is it even worth paying to have my mechanic look it over?
