So I was looking at this ralliart at the dealer today and when I popped the hood the brake fluid res. Was like bubbling? The car seemed to be running for a long time when I got there (motor was hot) it's got 36k miles btw. Should I get it and try and knock them down?

 

Absolutely. That way you can fork out money to fix all the problems you'll have with it.

 

Is that a problem tho? I don't want to deal with problems.

 

The brake fluid probably just needs to be replaced.

 

Does that mean he beat on it?

 

If he's driving the car hard and braking hard. Then he's heating up the brakes which heats up the fluid. If your serious about purchasing the car. I would ask to take it to a mechanic to have it looked over before you make a decision on getting it or not.

 

Ok sounds good. Thanks.

 

its risky to buy a used turbo charged car, but check it out before you buy

 

It's got a warranty ^

 

I think it would to get a Compression Test.

 

Still risky imo. I just traded in my gts for an RA. And the warranty on my GTS was out the window years ago (and still is), but now their selling it with a warranty

 

New ra?

 

Yep, a 2011

 

Bumper to bumper is gone at 36K miles right? That's a ton of miles for a 2011 too.

 

Wait what!?!? That's a 2011 with 36K miles in less than a year?!?! I'd pass for that fact alone; most people don't like doing maintenance (non-enthusiast are the general public). Driving like that requires it receive MONTHLY oil changes, s/h already replaced the transmission fluid and fluid, probably the brakes pads as well, etc, etc.
How much you wanna bet the former owner stuck with the "3-month standard oil change" policy, meaning once every 9-10K MILES, let alone never having changed the tranny fluid/filter, etc, etc.
Walk away!!! but that's just me....
