The system is closed and sealed. No ports. Can't change part of it. All or nothing. Not a DIY type of system.

If you want to keep the XREAS you need to replace all 4 shocks as a system per the dealer. The other shocks will leak soon. As you know many replace them with aftermarket but the ride is not as good. It's an all or nothing deal with the XREAS.

Drain and fill with OEM fluid. You flush toilets, not transmissions.

Nice! You may have the highest mileage 5th gen(verified) still going strong!

Post it somewhere else imgur, youtube, and put the link here.

Where are the frame pictures?

Thousands. Used junkyard part is $1000-1500. That's with nothing on it. You have to swap out all the trim and parts, then paint it. Not worth it. I find it hard to believe the rest of the car is rust free. But it may be possible. If the seller took $5K off the price and all else checks out...

Likely needs a new liftgate. If the insides are not rotted, a skilled body shop could weld metal back but getting the latch to align is critical. Is this a pre purchase inspection?

Duplicate, sorry.

How long was the delay? I have seen a few other members have this and their theory is neutral safety switch. I tend to believe valve bodies get worn.

Asphalt based-Patriot- coatings can trap moisture under them and you will never know. Use Fluid Film black if you want that look.

I believe the transmission was replaced with a used unit at some point.

My neck of the woods.

Nice! This saves me from asking how many miles you are up to. Glad to see it's doing well.

Trans fluid level is perfect.
