I test drove a 2002 GLX 4Motion about an hour ago and when I returned to the dealer (leasing company) I popped the hood and saw the coolant was boiling (vigorously)
Unfortunatley I know very little about engines and planned to bring it to my mechanic for a check-up before considering purchasing it but wanted to check if there is any known issues related to this - or a simple cause.
It didnt seem quite as peppy as another v6 4motion I drove in the past and the upswitch (from overdrive to 5th gear) after passing on the highway seemed a bit delayed (after I let off the gas)
any tips appreciated
