    Looking to buy a 3rd gen - how many miles are too many?

    depends where u buy it from. check it for rust. has a smooth drive- not fast. i wouldn't buy it for back and forth only to work. Long distances are enjoyable w that SUV. If u use it too much in city u will start hurting u joints etc etc, Just my 2 cent

    Starter, ignition or coils?

    dumb question - check auto trans fluid when running?

    4.5 ltrs if it is just drained. make a run around the block and it should be hot enough to check it. Don't read the manul saying only 2ltrs(2.1q)...this is wrong
