An automatic? If so, it’s not the best one they’ve ever made.

And no doubt a 2.0 gasoline engine. All I can suggest is that if it shows any delay going into reverse when cold you might need to allow for a transmission rebuild. Ask for records of a tranny oil change and drop the price if it hasn’t had one.

It’s the kind of car I would want to stay away from; there are much better choices out there. If you buy it, budget another $3500 over the next two years fior repairs!
