I bought mine new.
At about 30,000mi., the torque converter (part of transmission) was
replaced under warranty. After another 5,000mi., the transmission was
replaced. Both were done under warranty and the warranty was extended to
100,000mi. At about 60,000mi., the EGR was replaced. It too was covered
under warranty. While I like the car, it's always had drivability issues;
e.g. hesitation, slippage in transmission and it still does.
So, if you like the car, you may have to put up with some known defects.
Otherwise, trade it.
Good luck,
TomC
