Re: Thinking about buying a 05 T&C

Not that all dealers are the same but, you may want to take the word "Certified" with a grain of salt. I was looking at a used Camry at a GMC dealership in Palmdale, Ca that was "certified" and supposedly had a 120 point inspection. I walked around the car and found steel cord on a tire staring me in the face. They replaced the tire, I bought the car (daughter fell in love with it), a week later I go to change the differential fluid and found damned near zero fluid and no evidense of a leak. I also found a cracked brake flex line. Certified or not, either do a very thorough inspection yourself or let a trusted mechanic look at it.

I would be curious why someone would get rid of it in the first place. Were the ash trays dirty? Or was there something else.
