Please Help!!!!
My mother spoke witht the infiniti dealer and got this 2000 3.2 w/61k on it down to 11,200 for this car is a good deal considering the tranny issue? will it even make it to 100k plus, this car is actually for my lil sister. I have been helping my mom buy a car.
she has got a loan from the bank the work order was sent from the dealer to the nissan finance company but and now she just has to sign and pick up the car this thur, but i'm still wondering can she still back out of this deal since the dealer has gone threw all this paperwork prob in the process of registering this car under her name, but she hasn't signed anything. Bc if this tranny issue is that serious i don't think a new 16yr old driver can handle an emergency siutation if it fails while she is driving either on ice or the highway and my mom wanted this to last her through college it currently has 61k and has been taken in for that recal band ade patch oil kit and the tranny warranty is up in 6/2007.
So is she stuck with this car or can she still back out??
help please??

i am just more concerned with my lil sister safety she is a new driver and ultimately this car needs to last up through college at 61k aren't the risk for tranny problems higher as the mileage goes up, it is unfortuante that this has to be an incidence for a honda/acura considering it reputation with other cars My college car was an integra and it still runs strong even at 170k but i don't think the TL wold even hit 100k plus she wants a low maintenance car she doesn't know anythong about cars. I guess i'm real concerned with relaibilty up to 100k and safety, anyone with me on this?

I had just a couple minor things to do since I got it: new battery, re-ch AC...
So I assume I can`t say much about it... but If my ride start being bad I will simple trade-in.

i just got off the phone with my mom she's prob gonna call that dealer and cancel it, it sucks too bc i like acuras, what happened the honda/acura reliabiltiy u once saw on cars like the integra, civic, and 4banger accords??

hmmm....you do know that the 03' MDX have tranny problems also right? My sister's 03' MDX underwent a tranny replacement not too long ago. I recently purchased a used TL and haven't had any transmission issues yet. If you're going w/ the purchase on the TL, just do the regularly scheduled maintenance and you should be fine. The TL is a great car and your sister will enjoy it.

really the mdx has tranny issues bc they have driven that thing to tampa and back like 3 times in the past year from pa to come visit me. its got that certfiied crap so until 2010 or 100k it should be ok for the mdx
i pray that the TL will do fine too
