#1 of 1 Recently got a 2005 LS and need some guidance by phessional Oct 27, 2009 (4:56 pm)
So I decided to this beautiful car but bought it May and had to fix a few things already. First it was the Dual Valve for the A/C and it ran me about $500. Then it was the Throttle sensor which ran me about $200. Now it stutters when driving and it has stalled on me a few times. I thought it was the transmission because sometimes I feel a hard shift between 2nd and 3rd but when I took it to the shop the mechanic said it needs a tune-up and will also need to replace the coils which will run me about $1,000. I have never bought from a dealership and this was my first time so I forgot to ask for a carfax, would anyone who has unlimited access be able to help me see if this car has been involved in something the dealership didn't tell me. My VIN is 1LNHM86SX54614749. or if anyone has had similar problems with this car be able to tell me if coils are necessary. It has 60,000k on it. Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.
