Hi all,
I'm back after a long break. I used to have an '02 which I loved, but ultimately had to get rid of. I'm now looking at replacing my current SUV with something else, and was looking at an '06 V8 with 83k miles. It's about 11k and has a clean history, but not a lot of service records.
Although the '02 treated us pretty well, we ended up experiencing most of the common problems with that year. My big concern with the '06 is that I'll get it and have to drop $3k on a transmission rebuild shortly after. Is this still something that happens frequently? CarComplaints.com shows the transmission is still a problem area with that year, but it's not nearly at the level of the '02.
Any opinions or insights you guys can offer is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
B
