Debating T5 purchase
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello,
I saw a gorgeous T5 thats for sale in my area, a 2005 with 89k miles. It's a shiftable automatic. If I were to purchase it it would become my daily driver, and I put roughly 27k miles yearly on my car. The only reason I am hesitating is my understanding that the transmissions on these can be something of a problem. Are there any signs I can look for that would be a red flag, or am I overthinking it? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

the trans fluid can be brown on these cars, however it dose not mean its bad. if you drive a lot of city itll get dark but be fine.
if it smells gross its seen its wear. if not, more like crayons then its probably ok. but get 2 car reports on it, carfax being most common. the other thing is if its priced well or not.
