Looking to buy TC
by georgehughes35 on Sun Nov 30 20:34:53 PST 2008
I want to know what to look for when investigating used TC's. Specifically these water problems. I am definitely buying a 2003-2007 TC, signature LTD. Besides a clean carfax report and a smashing test drive what signs can I look for with respect to these water leaks (air filter, really?). Any recommendations would be appreciated. Oh and any haters out there who want to recommend a Avalon or something save it. I have been test driving for quite sometime.

I had a chance to check these two out at the auto show this weekend, and whoa! The new Malibu is an absolute carbon copy of the Aura! I hope these two have different engines (although I don't think they do) or chassis tweaks or SOMETHING to distinguish them, because otherwise this is a blatant case of rebadging (admittedly rebadging a very good car - the Opel Vectra) which I thought GM was trying to get away from.... There's really no difference in engines on these cars, although the Malibu has a wider variety. It offers the 2.4 4-cyl with a 4-speed automatic or 6-speed auto, a 3.5 OHC V-6 with a 4-speed auto, and the 3.6 DOHC V-6 with the 6-speed auto. Oh, and the hybrid. The Aura only offers the 2.4/6-speed and 3.6/6-speed, and the hybrid. I think the 3.5 V-6 is fleet-only though. And the 2.4/4-speed auto does let the Malibu come in at a cheaper base price. As for the badge-engineering, this is one of those cases where I don't mind it. The cars are at least different enough, style-wise, to have different identities to me. It's not like how Ford or Chrysler would often just change the easy stuff like grille inserts and taillight lenses to come up with a different car. I like the rear of the Aura better than the Malibu. Something about the way the Malibu's tail just ends too flat doesn't sit right with me, and the taillights seem unfinished, somehow. And up front, the grille of the Malibu seems a bit swollen, sort of like a Camry. So with the rebadging, I guess I look at it as GM giving you a choice in style. Same basic car, but some may prefer the Malibu's style to the Aura, and vice versa. In contrast, if you shop for a Camry, Accord, or Altima, you're pretty much stuck with how they look. If you like the style, fine, but if not, you either have to deal with it, or shop elsewhere. I guess the same could hold true for GM though. You might not like the style of the Malibu, Aura, or G6! As for the cupholders, I hadn't noticed. I'll have to check that out the next time I sit in one.

The water outlet housing had sprung a leak and needed to be replaced. Since I already had purchased a new thermostat, they put it on for me. Evidently, that thermostat housing leak is a common problem. My 2000 Intrepid 2.7 had the same problem, and my mechanic replaced it. This was around the fall of 2001, and the car had about 51,000 miles on it. Since this was way back then, I guess a new, improved part hadn't been designed yet. However, I'm now at 143,000 miles and it's over 7 years later, and it seems to be holding, so far. I remember the mechanic charged me $210 to replace that thermostat housing. I had purchased an extended warranty on that car, but it had a $200 deductible, so I figured it wasn't worth taking it back to the dealer...especially since I was having other work done on the car, anyway.

Update: I am buying tomorrow morning ; $29,381 for the 2009 tsx w/ tech and .9% financing. Out the door (before extended warranty) is $32,261 in the Bay Area...fyi, I got a call from another dealer that said they would go for $100 less and another that said they couldn't do that deal.
