This will save you a TREMENDOUS amount of money, & possibly your life. I'm talking several thousands of dollars.

Facts Regarding a CVT Transmission

  1. CVT = Constant Velocity Transmission
  2. Doesn't "shift".
  3. Gives a "smoother" ride / drive.
  4. Mechanics canNOT rebuild them when they die.
  5. They HAVE to go back to the dealer to be entirely rePLACED.
  6. Are not typically covered under ANY warranty.
  7. Only last for BARELY around 100,000 miles, & then they stop all at once & STRAND YOUR ASS. {Imagine if you were going down the highway when your car just suddenly stops. You're trapped, & vulnerable.}

Whenever you are shopping for a car, I don't care if it's a used car, what they call refurbished, "like new", or even if it's BRAND NEW, do NOT under any circumstances purchase ANY car / truck that has a CVT transmission in it. If you don't KNOW what kind of transmission the car / truck has - then you ASK what kind it has. If the answer is, "it has a CVT transmission in it", then you smile nicely, & walk OUT of there! You do NOT want anything to do with a CVT, I promise you.
