Well, I bought a used SUV from Round Rock Toyota. I really liked the SUV but while test driving the vehicle there was a noticeable tick coming from the engine. It would cease after 20 or so seconds after starting. I asked about it and the manager stated its a known tick. It ticks because the oil is circulating. I did believe it because the sound would disappear. Made sense.I am not a mechanic, figured I would be told the truth. I was enticed to buy the vehicle because the manager offered new Michelin tires for the vehicle.I couldn't pass it up. Low and behold, after a month the check engine light came on. I took it to my trusted mechanic. He listened to the vehicle and pointed out within a few seconds where and why the tick is happening. I did see a broken bolt from the exhaust manifold. Round Rock Toyota stated they do a hundred + point inspection. Its hard to believe that these certified mechanics at this dealer did not fix this....or was told not to and just sell it to a sucker...aka..me. I don't expect this type of behavior for all vehicles but be wary of this dealership. Especially if they start offering things for no charge.
