Hello,
This is my first post. I tried posting this question in another section, but it wouldn't allow me to post. I guess I will post the question here. I am considering an purchasing an 06 XLT (V6). I just took it for a test drive and it ran great; however, when I first started it, it had a rattle sound. Not the sound of a rod knock, but more like you sometimes hear when you start a car cold. I started it a few more times and it sounded fine. My question is, should I be concerned about this? Or is the common for a cold start?
The car has about 35,000 miles. The carfax report indicats that it was a lease vehicle. Interestingly, a review of the mileage shows that it was sitting for 8 months, and not being driven.
The car looks good, runs good, and is priced right. My only concern is the cold start rattle that I heard. If anyone has any thoughts or comments, please pass them along.
Thank you very much.
