Hello. This is my first post.
I'm about to purchase a used CX-9 - we have a short list of 2008 Grand Touring CX9s with Nav. All of them have between 25k and 35k miles.
Are there any issues that I should be on the lookout for specific to CX9s or grand touring options? I do almost all of the maintenance and repair on my vehicles so I'm not worried about normal used car wear and tear and wear part replacement at this mileage level - I'm looking for major potential headaches that require expensive/painful electrical or mechanical repairs (warranty or non-warranty).
Does the CX9 Grand Touring have an Achilles Heel?
As an example we're trading in our 2006 Nissan Murano for this CX9 - had I done my homework before purchasing that car I would have learned about all of the issues with the continuously variable transmission (first year for Nissan) and probably wouldn't have purchased the car. The car is also notorious for control arm bushing/ball joint and motor mount failure.
Thanks in advance for your help!
