Bumper to Bumper Radio, the car guys on KTAR, 92.3 FM in Phoenix, AZ, broadcast every Saturday from 11:00 am to noon. On this show, Dave Riccio of Tri-City Transmission in Tempe, AZ gives you some great advice and some things to keep in mind if you’re in the market for a used vehicle. Also on this show:

• Why transmission problems can be common in used vehicles.
• Warning signs to be on the lookout for while shopping out pre-owned cars.
• How to protect yourself during a purchase decision.
• Why it doesn’t necessary make sense to fix small problems with your vehicle prior to selling it.
• 2005 Toyota Tundra: I’ve been looking to purchase one of these trucks. Are there any things I should be watching out for with these vehicles specifically?
• 2006 Ford F150: A great review for Bumper to Bumper shop Accurate Automotive!
• 2004 Ford F150: After having an oil leak fixed, my engine light came on. I noticed that my oil was low, so I added a bit. The truck is running fine now, but the light has stayed on. Any advice?
• 2009 Chevrolet Silverado: My brake light has been coming on intermittently. Is this something that needs to be reset somewhere, or do I need to take my vehicle into a shop?
• 2014 Honda Accord: 20k miles ago, I started to notice a strange noise coming from the back end of my Honda. The shop I use hasn’t been able to replicate the problem – how can I persuade them to check into the issues I suspect?
• 1998 Buick Park Ave: I’ve considered purchasing this vehicle from a neighbor of mine. It has a salvage title and 6 month old gas in the tank. What are your thoughts?
• Saturn SC2: The transmission in my car is slipping and grabbing. Is there somewhere you would recommend I take my car into?
