rena Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 2004 black on black GS430 200,000 kms. 10,000 Every possible extra Rebuilt tranny. Everything works perfect. Is this a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRK Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 In 2004 I purchased my 98 GS400 from a dealer in BC for $28K, with 93,000km on it. One owner, perfect car. The price they are asking is certainly reasonable, but the idea that the trans has been rebuilt is a bit scary. At that mileage the trans should have been working fine, so I'd ask to see the receipt for the trans. No receipt, then it's BS. Check with ICBC as to the claims history, and check the registration papers for rebuilt or declaration status. Proceed carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Rebuilt tranny? RED flag flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah.Berry Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Proceed cautiously - Rebuilt tranny at that mileage is a red flag (as VB as noted). Would lead me to question how the rest of the car was treated. You should ask where the rebuild was done - at Lexus or at an independent shop? If independent, do you know the shop? For me, it wouldn't be a deal breaker, but additional due diligence is warranted! Micah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
