CVs

Im looking at purchasing another 3rd gen max. This one is an SE model with bad CVs??? The guy selling it says that they rattle when the car is warmed up? I think he is on crack. Opinions?

Bad CV's are not that big of a deal. Basically, you just replace the axles on each side. About $60 per side at Autozone, if you can do the work yourself.

If you let CV boots go bad for too long they will make noise whenever you are moving. If thats the only problem it has i'd say go with it.
