[QUOTE="4play, post: 1335038, member: 7223"] When you buy an older vehicle with more mileage the dealer may not do the more elaborate inspections that are normal. They might just change the oil and make sure the brakes and tires are good. I assume it did not have some type of "certified inspection" or something along those lines advertised on it, or a extended service plan. You bought it "As-Is" its just like buying from a individual in that sense. The best thing to do was to either expect it yourself or have someone do it for you and even then things can go un-noticed. If the problem is as bad as your trying to explain, it sounds like you should have heard or felt it before the sale. Bad U-joints usually squeek, pop, clunk, vibrate during driving. If they were dry and the cross had wear I would imagine it should have shown some of the symtoms above. I know when your looking at something you really want, it can be difficult to search out all the problems because you are focused on the good things. That is why its best to have it checked over by someone else. [/QUOTE]
