We bought this and had it three months when the transmission went out at less that 80000 miles. It lost power and also had lost oil after just having the oil changed. Supposedly it was "dry" and also no transmission fluid. It had just been serviced and have the proof of servicing. It took us three months to find a transmission to put in it, since we were still making payments on it!! Had to get a rental car for three months. It was a nightmare.
