I'm considering a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Limited at hayes Automotive in Gainesville, GA. Any thoughts about the Pacifica and is that in your service area?
Hello, John Crunkleton! Pacifica is far from the best in terms of reliability but in this case, it's almost new, so you can buy it and drive for 3-5 years without major problems. But be aware that resale value would be low. Regarding service area, yes, we can go to Gainesville.

Hi! What can you say about ford power shift transmissions? Is it worth to buy a car with it?
Hello, James! Don't buy it. We have seen many problems with this transmissions. At least you will get a car with rough shifting transmission. In the worst case, it will break down. Even Volkswagen DSG transmission seems to be slightly better than PowerShift.

Hello
Looking to purchase a 2011 328i what's your thoughts
Hello, Donba! Be aware of the oil consumption issue. N52 engine has an electronic thermostat with high working temperature and that is why the engine is very picky about oil quality. Look under oil cap - engine must be clean, check out exhaust gas for blue smoke. And of course, take a look at maintenance history to make sure that oil was changed frequently.

Hello! What do you think about Cadillac STS 2000? I've found a good one with low mileage.
Hello, Jon! It's a really good looking, powerful and comfortable car but the transverse V8 engine is a mechanic's nightmare. It's even hard to maintain let alone something more serious. So if you definitely want to buy that car make sure that it's in really good condition.

Have you worked with European cars? I'm thinking about bying Audi A8 4.2 2012. Can you check it?
Hello, Scott! Yes, we can inspect this car but we strongly recommend you stay away from it. It's very expensive to repair and is an unreliable car. For instance, it has weak timing chains and those chains are placed at the back side of the engine so you have to completely remove the engine to replace the chains and tensioners. Also, don't forget about the aluminum body which is very hard to repair correctly.

I consider buying used Dodge ram 1500 but there are a lot of mixed reviews regarding this truck. What are your thoughts?
Hello, Anthony! It depends on what you expect of this truck. You didn't mention the year you're gonna buy, but in general, RAM's have good engines and transmissions. That means the risk of it breaking down and having to pay a lot of money for repairs is low. It does however have many minor problems with\electronic components and cheap trim., which can be very annoying if you want your truck to stay perfect.
