We purchased a similar car through CARVANA recently W/ approximately 86k miles. 2012 LS model. Same interior/body color. Ours has the 1.8L engine/automatic transmission. These guys left out so many minor issues on this car. On arrival I went over the car with a fine tooth comb. I was surprised to see that most of the floorboard carpets came with the car. Most cars we have bought came with no floor board carpets. Not sure why they didn't bother to put them back after cleaning. The rear passenger on the driver side carpet was missing. Took pics of the body inside and out to include the engine bay. If I could have at the time I would have place it on a lift at the time I would have just to record the condition of the vehicle on delivery/arrival. In any case I was able to find some problems but nothing related to safety like brakes, windshield wipers seat belts etc... Mostly cosmetic and a small water pump leak. Warranty is still good for a week or so. Going to take it to a local shop on their network. Will only cost us a $100 deductible to get it taken care of. They did a half a** job of cleaning the interior. Had so many short white hairs all throughout. I think the previous owner may have had a cat or dog that rode with them. Engine is running smooth. No trouble codes, not overheating or running rough, no head gasket leaks as reported on the model with the 1.4L turbo engine. I'm 5'4, wife is 5'2 so we use a "booster"seat cushion.😁 You can adjust the height of the seat with a lever on the side but it only goes so far. If you are tall you should not have a problem with comfort in this car. I looked in the trunk and found it did not see any radio speakers. Do these cars have speakers in the trunk? I will be doing some research on this. Overall, it's a decent car. I've had worse. Take care people! Wherever you may call home. 👍
I got the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze LS. Fair value was used, 120k, about 7k. I went to a small dealer who let me pay cash and got it for $5,400. It rides nice. Just a 2nd hand local car. 1.8 eng
@@illdrumatik391 at the time i didnt have a cosigner but in 2 weeks im buying a new car with my dad. so im not entirely sure on how the cruze is. But if dad dosent go thru with it ill buy a used civic or the cruze my self. My girlfriends mom had one same year a few years ago but it kept breaking down and had problems but maybe just the way it was taken care of. but i still think its a great car. But i rather get a new car.
These cars are surprisingly solid, we had a 2012 LS with the EcoTech 1.8 and a 6 speed on our lot, I almost got it but I decided on a 2013 Jetta TDI haha
My brother had one of these that is identical to this one. Same year, same color and same trim. He owned it from March 2012 to October 2016 when it started having numerous of problems. He now owns a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu LT
@@EddieLeal He had a busted oil cap where the car was leaking oil, a weak battery and transmission problems. He got rid of the Cruze as soon as the battery went and bought that Malibu. Now, he no longer has the Malibu. He gave the Malibu to our niece. Now, he currently owns a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland.
@@MAGNUM05 Thank you. I appreciate the information. So far the one I have only has a small leak from behind the water pump pulley. No other major issues...yet. 😉
Here are some common reasons why a Chevy Cruze heater isn't working: - Broken heater blower motor: One of the most common reasons for a Chevy Cruze heater not working - Thermostat problem: A bad thermostat can cause leaking around the housing - Low coolant level: The coolant in your engine is the source of heat for the heating system - Air in the system: The heater core may be full of air - Temp sensor on the radiator: This sensor controls the thermostat's electronic heating
@@brandonbricks2699 well tbh we never quite figured out. It kept doing weird things, like when idling it would jerk randomly. It overheated twice in less than a year, and the service engine light was on constantly.
