Newdrive 1st Gear October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Hi guys, Some of you might be aware I am buying a second hand Jazz... this is AA evaluation report. I am not a merchanical person so need some expert advise if its worth to get this car. Particularly these few issues: - Rattling noise when change "D" to "R" : Is this serious? Gearbox related? Need repair or replace? - Bottom of gearbox seepage: Can this be fixed? Will it affect my gearbox? - Possible missing front reinforcement bar: AA told me yesterday they check a newer Jazz model have this but mine don't have. Can any 2005 Jazz owner advise me? Heard from AA it can be quite serious as I dun have any front protection without this bar. Please also point out if anything you feel is critical (minus cosmetic)... Thank you so much! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Still need to ask? It is obvious you should not buy this car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Turbocharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Still need to ask? It is obvious you should not buy this car. Yeah... Both front and back showing signs of accident repair, sounds like the car buang pretty bad. And lack of bar would seem to reinforce this (damaged and they never replace) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tohto Hypersonic October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 (edited) Gear box is anothers problem. The leakage showed that GB can be faulty soon. GB repair can be very expensive. There are many 2nd hand Jazz in the market, look for another one. Edited October 3, 2012 by Tohto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beng2 5th Gear October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Exhaust changed to aftermarket - to me it's a sign owner was speedster or car modifier. Normal driver wont bother to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othello Supersonic October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 (edited) that's why I advocate AA check, they are damn merciless but this car is really All others still considered relatively minor and won't cost a bomb to replace, but if Gearbox up lorry Edited October 3, 2012 by Othello Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodooman Supersonic October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 that's why I advocate AA check, they are damn merciless but this car is really All others still considered relatively minor and won't cost a bomb to replace, but if Gearbox up lorry I always use AA, very detailed report. If the car had been in an accident and repainted, you should be able to tell from the report (ie. paint thickness gauge). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
