The guy who started this thread, the seller fixed his car for him. That's one. But you haven't learnt anything from it.
You have the right to ask them if there is any fault you should know about which you should ask. They would probably say no any fault. If you try to make them commit, that's when they would change their attitude towards you and that's all what you need to see, the red flag. What's so difficult for you to understand here?
Ok, let me go and learn more, thanks for the advice 🙏🏾

You are making this one up on your own. You would ask them if there is any fault you should be aware of and if you notice it before so and so date, you would return it. Let it be on record.
Ma Oga, you need to remove emotions and research what I'm telling you here. Used cars don't have warranty, they're bought and sold "AS IS"

Sellers however, SHOULD NOT, impede any form of inspection you want to carry out, that's the koko

If you buy a used car for a low price and enjoy it for years, hence getting better good value and lots of savings as opposed to buying brand new, you wont go back to the seller to add up funds to him abi

So, when you buy and it goes sour, you chest it too

When you buy a used car, you inherit both the assets and liabilities. The onus is on you to carry out a proper research and thoroughly inspect before paying. Don't rely on things like asking the seller if the car is perfect and he says "yes", it won't hold any water

I met the dealer through an agent but afterwards when I told him he apologised and asked me to fix it.

When I told him the price he didn't argue, he paid instantly.
It was very peaceful.
Cheers man 🥂

I fixed it and the dealer paid for all the repairs. The car has sound engine nonetheless everything else is perfect.
Did you get the dealer to do that with police arrest and intimidation? grin

Most of these guys don't even realise most dealers will sort these issues for you out of zeal to keep a client.

I believe what happens is when people fall into the hands of hungry middlemen, they experience lots of bad things

From my observations, what most people call "dealers" are infact nothing but agents and middlemen only out for a quick bucks. Most real dealers will try their best to please and retain a client

What did you do after finding out?
You should have taken it back with the involvement of police and court threat since they intentionally hid all these major problems from you and presented the car as faultless
Used cars are bought and sold "AS IS"

There's no warranty for used cars, the onus is on you to carry out proper inspection before purchase

There's no way one can "intentionally hide a major fault" in a vehicle like you claimed, you either got carried away by the blings and bought out of excitement without inspection OR you went along with either an unqualified technician or incompetent one or both

Your intimidation tactics will most likely backfire, don't even bother

I still believe that my driving wasn't the cause of the issue cause I moved in convoy with a 2013 highlander v6 and a prado v6. None of them experienced the issue, not even once. I was even the one that struggled to keep up cheesy cheesy I don't believe the RX is not that strong compared to a 2013 highlander and a 2015 prado
You miss the point, the fault is there no doubt....all I'm saying is, it's better you slow down your rev as a means of managing it, than installing an extra fan

There's nothing I'm telling you that's internet knowledge, been there done that several times

Thank you! I will keep this in mind, and hopefully the issue doesn't come up again, but if it does, I think I will try this fan thing
Don't do this fan thing pls, kindly leave your vehicle factory spec and no additional electrical modifications

Attaining your speed a lil gradually by easing up on your throttle and maintaining a lower rpm will take care of it. Na your high rev dey stress the transmission
Car TalkRe: Life And Times Of My 2016 Lexus Rx350 by valarinz: 3:04pm On Jan 09, 2025
calculation:
Use fan to extract heat at low speed or during go slow driving. What you did will only be efficient during high speed in which movement air aid air flow to extract heat, but that is not the case during low speed conditions. Did you ever ask why radiator fan was added to engine cooling system.
The thing is, during low speed driving, the message work come up, his transmission is not stressed, what's stressed is the engine

On the highway too, if he kept his rpm below 2500 on average, he's likely not to get the message either

Reading he did average of 150kmph tells you why he got the message, he's definitely operating on 3000rpm - 4500rpm above for long stretches
