Cpo shopper. Here to compare notes, learn, and talk cars.
2022 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport, about 52,500 miles. I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would buy…
2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, about 42,000 miles. I am trying to balance purchase price against downtime and surprise repairs.
The car gets lots of cold starts, idling and short trips with few long highway runs. The factory interval feels long for that use.
Same size and pressure, but the new tires create noticeably more highway hum. Is this usually tread pattern/compound, or should I verify balance and alignment before blaming the tire model?
I am paying an independent shop to inspect a used car. Besides a scan and putting it on a lift, what should I ask them to check so it is more than a quick state-inspection-style look?
A hard-to-find spec is several states away. Dealer has provided video and history, but I have not seen it in person.
