Possible 2006 Armada purchase - thoughts?

[Welshsparky]

Hi,

I am thinking of getting a 2006 Armada, It will only be a second vehicle, and to tow by boat. It's has 224Km on it though, do these engines have a long life general? Or is this the general overhaul mark? The Vehicle is only $9500CAD

yes i know cats who have over 200K miles on the engine. the engine is super reliable.

if looking for model in this year, please check the manifolds as they are prone to cracking.

the transmission is also super reliable, given fluids have been changed on time, so smoke over the maintenance records prior to purchase.

Thanks for your help. I'm going to view two today. One has 202k kilometers, I'll check through the fluid changes

well I bought the Armada, 600KM later it won't start. Turns over but will not fire. It started doing this then it would start. Now it just turns over but no fire

fuel pump, cam position sensor, IPDM ( highly a possibility).

check for codes at the obd port...

Looks like it was the key. My wifes key starts it every time. My key starts one in every 5
