MPG on a built in transmission - Toyota Yaris Forums

misterno · 06-28-2010, 10:21 PM

well first of all I wasn't intended to buy a car with rebuilt transmission, I am cheated.

Dealer did not tell me te truth. I looked at the odometer and it was only 15K and I knew that Toyota will cover all expenses till 36K miles unless there is an accident

So I took it to a body shop and they opened the hood and trunk and doors and looked all over and could not find anything

So I thought this is a good deal cuz if there is any problem toyota would fix it for free.

I paid all cash came home, 1 week later transmission was making a little noise so I took it to a nearby toyota dealer. After 2 hours they came back and said, the car was in an accident such that only front fender not hood, transmission and radiator was replaced. Engine was fine and everything else is fine. But still, I felt so bad you won't believe.

So, I called the dealer I bought the car from, their first response "you signed as is form", at that moment I knew I was in trouble.

Now I am trying to find a lawyer to help me. Anyway, my questions are

1) Does Toyota honor waranty on other parts of the car in this case?

2) The car runs great and there is only little humming noise while accelerating but I am not sure if transmission will last years. How much would it cost to get a certified mechanic to rebuilt or get a new Toyota transmission? I am seeing ads like rebuilt tranmission with 7 years warranty. Are these accurate?
