Don't use racial slur in your post, even you suffer the lose. Buying used cars always bring in risks. You can do nothing except go to court if you have enough evidence.
What kind of car you have?作者: fengfeng 时间: 2003-9-28 21:17
Sorry, I didn't realize my term is "racial slur" when I wrote it. I think you're right.
It's Ford escort, looks beautiful and we like it. The price of the car was good actually. But we just never expected there is such a big problem and we couldn't do anything with them even we found it immedately, which makes us frustrated. SAAQ told us that we could return the car to the owner in 10 days. The court told us that we must inform the owner by letter, not telephone before we file them to the court, but what can we do if they just don't touch the letter.
Now we accept it, and would like to fix it before the winter. Thank you, DonCherry. Glad to see you here 作者: DonCherry 时间: 2003-9-29 11:51
Fix it would cost about $1200. Hopefully you can find a good rebuilt Transmission. Before invest that kind of money for complete rebuild. You may add certain additives or flush the transmssion fuild. Jerking always means that control module (Hydrolic system) in trouble.
Good luck作者: kapagi 时间: 2003-9-29 18:16

Thank you both very much!
Doncheery, do you mean "add certain additives or flush the transmssion fuild" MAY (or be good for) solve the problem? What kind of this certain additive?
It's true there is burned smell in the fluid. We had thought to flush the transmission too, but after checking with many transmission garages, it seems most of them don't have the flusher. We are not sure they would flush it thoroughly. We only found CT have the machine. But it's not cheap there.作者: DonCherry 时间: 2003-9-30 13:12
You could check the price in Costco or Wal-Mart, whose prices usually lower than that of CT. You can at same time call scrap yards for used Transmission. Used one could be at half price of rebuilt one, the installation costs about $200.作者: fengfeng 时间: 2003-10-1 15:11
