Hi all Happy New Year!
I own a 2k Expy that rusted out on the bottom of the truck and the mechanic said its time to let it go...
My wife drives the Expy and wanted another one, she didnt want to get a smaller SUV...
Spent my new years eve at Major World Auto Sales (any New Yorker knows this place lol)
They have/had a 2008 Expy Eddie Bauer for sale, I liked it because it only has 75k miles on it!! Every other Expy I found in my searches had well over 100k on the clock.
Went, took a look as it, has some normal interior wear but the leather was good, no rips/stains in the seats. Exterior is good for a 10 year old truck.
The Navi works but back up camera doesnt seem to function. Or at least I couldnt get it to.
The test drive went well.
The kicker is that when we took the car to get inspected, they hooked a hand held unit up to it and said it wouldnt pass because there were codes coming up. The head of service stated that mechanically the car is sound (because they worked on it before) but needed to be driven to clear the codes for emissions.
Today they said they would still need to keep it / work on it so that it passes emissions inspection.
Im told Thursday is pick up day...
Should I be nervous that this is happening? I feel like sometimes a car with low milage can be a gift or a curse.
The Expy came out to 12k with taxes, DMV fees etc...
What do you guys/gals think ??? We do want it, my wife isnt interested in looking at any other brands lol Price wise, this is what we can afford currently.
Thanks!
