It had a check engine light on. It was advertised with 52k miles but was actually 57456(red flag). Sales person said it needed front struts and rear rotors & pads and MAF. I called the GM to get it done and I told him what the sales person told me & also it had a check engine light on. He called me back & tried talking to me like I was born yesterday. Get this he actually said that light was not on and Tech said no stored codes AND it did not need anything. When I told him. Ok I would like to pay for a used car inspection at the Dealer he ghosted me. Scammers. I had an 2004 XJR new back in the day and drove 20k miles per year. After 60k I took it to the dealer in 2007 and told them I wanted a transmission service. Back then they told people it was \u201csealed for life\u201d. Complete BS.
