Do you think this car might be a lemon?

Was looking around online and came across this car.. It seemed nice until I looked at the carfax.

The things that have been replaced other than the alternater and battery should not have been replaced under Normal driving. The main thing being the tranny! Sounds like it has been punished or it is a lemon... It's kinda high too!

i don't see anything too fishy in there. sure a transmission is not a normally replaced item, but atleast it was all done at a dealership, and there is record of it. i'd take the time to go drive it if i was in the market.

Good point... I will second that. Dealership records are
always a plus...

Dont see why it would be lemon

I'd just make sure you check the car out completely. Take it for a test drive and beat the hell out of it. Make sure it's up to task.

The price is kind of high for that many miles in my opinion.

A good visual inspection would also tell you how hard it's been driven, i.e. rubber in the wheel wells
