My hubby and I bought a used 2012 Honda Civic LX 31K miles from a dealership last night. While we were test driving, we heard a light rattling noise but other than that the car drove great and we were allowed to take it far enough to test the brakes, acceleration etc.
The car was sold to us at a reasonable price - price that could have been lower but fit the price range on Kelley blue book and NADA.
Anyhow we explained the rattling noise to the dealership and they said they'd check it out today and so we left the car at the dealership overnight. Today the service advisor from the dealership called us and said it's the shift cable rattling and that they'd have to get the parts to get it fixed. Given that it's Labor weekend, it would take Tuesday to have it fixed and ready for us. We're not paying for this repair but we're taking this is as a red flag since we JUST purchased this car and it already has a problem. What would be the right course of action to take if anything? Thanks in advance.
