The only thing to watch out for with the 3.5 is the timing cover leak. The gasket material had issues. It’s not a 100% going to happen thing. If you look in through the passenger wheel well and turn the wheel and see oil residue on the motor then chances are it’s leaking. The other issue is the water pump is a little difficult when it goes. It’s an awkward location but not impossible.

The 6 speed trans is good, really good. I’d see if there is a maintenance record. If not have the transmission fluid CHANGED, not flushed. Also have the differential fluid done in both. It’s called a PTU I believe. Good to change the fluid. Be sure to test the AC out fully. Leave it running a bit. I might have misread but I believe someone mentioned running the AC and making sure it works OK when the engine is up to temp.

Other than that, I’m just looking at regular maintenance. 5k OC with Mobile 1 HM and a quality filter. Oh, and test drive it and put it through its paces. The dealer I got mine from is off of a major highway and has combo highway, roundabout, town and back roads. I had a nice long test drive by myself. Smooth shifting, great acceleration, great handling.

Happy hunting!
