Found a nice 04 330Ci and recently had the car taken in for an inspection, but I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to cars and was hoping someone could help me out by explaining what everything means and their opinion on whether the car is a good purchase.
- Front suspension lower control arm bushings worn and loose Extremely common
- Fault code for oil level sensor A new sensor is a little over $100 and can be replaced on your next oil change. Two screws hold it in.
- Valve cover gasket and seals starting to leak I would just replace the VANOS seals on the car and put a new VC gasket on there when you do that job.
- Brake fluid flush Every car, regardless of make should have this done every 60k or so
- Transmission output seal and selector shaft seal leak Not sure on this one
- Breather hose soft and deteriorating is he talking about intake boot or crankcase breather hose? Both parts are cheap
- Rear differential fluid service Every car, regardless of make should have this done every 60k or so
The car has just over 70k miles on it. Are these normal things for a car with that mileage? Anything there a deal breaker? Thanks in advance
