Good history of well maintained and lubricated components really a huge plus!
Leading evidence: 'Lubricate components really a huge plus' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'specific' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check filter' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

RMS isn't a serviceable part that can be replaced, however the leak can be mitigated.

I am sure the filter was changed monthly unless it is a really old model.

Well speaking for myself Ive never tried a cooch (new or used) that I didnt thoroughly enjoy.

Went back thru the thread, and both of my jokes were already used before I weighed in.

I believe the PO mentioned occasional spluttering and stalling when attempting to check the oil, but I believe that issue is specific to some models; others have no problem with that at all.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

A friend of mine is considering divorce, and she's wondering if a gently-used cooch would be useful to anyone else. It does show signs of use, but (contrary to what the PO indicated), there are several inches of unused material, so it seems a shame to just throw away. It is definitely not in good enough shape to be sold CPO, but I'd hate to see it go for some ridiculously low price on Craigslist.
Everyone knows how expensive these are new, so this might be a way for someone to pick up a decent preowned item for way less than retail. I believe the seller is honest, but a PPI might be a good idea just to verify that there are no surprises.
Thanks for any comments/suggestions - I'll forward them along. If I do post this as a for-sale thread, pics and a price will be included.
The last time I saw it - I was taking care of it for OP while he was out of the country - it appeared in good condition, with only faint evidence of wear. It was typically stored covered, but not garaged. I imagine any wear could be addressed with a decent moisturizer and some elbow grease. I'll see if I can find some pics, but I'm almost certain it was Arctic White / Guards Red.
I may head over sometime this weekend with my Durexometric and verify proper operation.
PO was insane about neatness and washed it daily.
It depends I've seen leather conditioner work wonders. The trick is to apply large amounts and work it into the folds and crevices. Paying special attention to the more sensitive areas as these areas under proper consideration can offer years of enjoyment and admiration. Also it makes a great place to store a cell phone.
I can personally attest with great experience that previously owned means nothing. A bit of attention in the right areas and some loving care is all she needs. Sometimes PO just means all the kinks have been worked out already and there is some good cruising ahead.
If nobody else winds up picking this up, I'm going to try to talk my wife into letting me add this - at least temporarily - to the stable. I get the feeling she's going to nix the idea, though.
Yeah, for some reason they tend not favor adding a used cooch to the stable. For the life of me, I don't know why that is. Perhaps it's because they don't appreciate it as much as we do.
At this point I'm not sure I can afford the additional maintenance, so it'll probably have to go to someone else. Although it would be fun to jump in that thing on the weekends and have a blast.
LOL. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume double entendre here. Or, maybe after a long day at work, I have a dirty mind? Threads like this make me glad I'm happily married to a great woman. If I followed the advice of this forum, I'd likely have asked for a PPI & service history, and got a butt whippin' for my trouble.

It does seem to leak a bit, especially at high RPM / when running hot, but some Internet sites seem to indicate that this is normal. If it becomes a problem, I'll advise the new owner to look into it.

Thanks for the advice, y'all.

I'm just the middleman here, but I'm happy to broker a relationship for a small fee. Email can be sent to 5chn3ll @ pimp-daddy . net.
I can't vouch for how frequently it has been waxed, but I know I've seen a number of different detailing services parked out front from time to time - seems like there was ALWAYS someone working it over when the husband was out of town. Must be nice to come home and find it all cleaned up, warmed up, and ready to go. How truly blessed he must feel...
Oh, crap
, I just found out from PO's mechanic that this thing was WRECKED during a massive pileup a few months ago. There was definitely alcohol involved; some of the undercarriage had to be straightened out, and I believe it may actually have a salvage title.
Sorry, folks - I thought this thing had a much cleaner history. The carf*cks report is...14 pages long.
I'ma definitely pass on this one.
That's definitely a problem. You could have a bad oil pump resulting in poor lubrication. Also there is a chance that there may be scored cylinders which could result in the rod getting bent out of shape. Careful!
One area that tends to be overlooked is "logged" hours. I would put it through the paces, check for friction wear, and most importantly make sure it's able to retain fluids. You don't want that leaking as it can be a mess and only seen under a black light.
If it's anything like previous models I've had in the stable, it will pass the PPI, having shown no obvious defects. The first few months will be euphoric...slowly fading into pleasantness. The initial things I loved about it will soon be the things that bother me the most. After a few years, it will start looking old and tired, and I will begin having thoughts of trading it in for a newer model.
But that would be way too expensive.
Are the bearings tight, or have they gotten sloppy from lack of lubrication?
Would not want to have to deal with a grenaded engine
Maybe somone can post the 69 modes of failure for us on this model

Well speaking for myself Ive never tried a cooch (new or used) that I didnt thoroughly enjoy. Some more than others but all were nice, even the ones I only tried once.
Each time seemed to last only moments but they all resulted in a happy ending.
If this one looks a bit rough Im sure a fresh wax job would have it looking at least ten years younger.
Let me know what the asking price is.
So, I found a video of Dr. Mack Baby performing a pre-qualification inspection on the damaged cooch. Very informative!
Nip Tuck Season 5 Episode 3 Eden Lord and Sean McNamara Scene - YouTube
+1000000 if someone could have enticed Jake to chime in with the all the various modes of cooch failure. Nobody would want to get within 100 feet of those cooches without a complete teardown and rebuild.
Are cooch Nickies a thing?
I've heard that on these particular engines, the RMS only leaks after the engine is warmed up. At cold start, there's usually no leak. If there is, it's a roll of the dice.
You guys are doing it wrong again. Haven't you learned that renting it is always the cheapest way to go. Anything breaks you just sit tight and call the renter company. They will drop it off to you and haul the broken one away.
RMS isn't a serviceable part that can be replaced, however the leak can be mitigated.
- find the use that causes the leak and cease it.
- use towels, cardboard, or whatever to contain the leak and make it more cleanable.
- replace the whole unit
In my experence, although helpful, leaks aren't usually a lube issue unless the leak is red color atf fluid (dextron3?) In which case it's more of a underlubed thrust bearing rather than RMS.
Every so often when shifting it pops out of gear and the input shaft gets misaligned and jamms. Not a serious problem but can mean taking a break to get the alignment back into position or if the shaft needs to be lubed and conditioned.
Headlights are important to me.
How are the high beams on this cooch?
Do they appear fresh and undamaged?
Are they set to an effective usable height or are they pointing low due to aging suspension sag?
Paul
At what age is the used cooch no longer eligible for preowned certification?
I don't think I would be willing to jump in and really ride an out of warranty model.
Low mileage, low wear and tear and newer model with a full warranty will really provide a much better overall feeling of satisfaction and ownership. Especially if I plan to pound her as my daily driver!
Good history of well maintained and lubricated components really a huge plus!
I agree.
Some cooch's are known to shed major components during the first 1/3 of life span. This can cause permanent damage and alter critical clearances on tight fitting precision parts which can lead to a loose ride.
Paul
I would proceed with caution on the Uber Cooch option.
While i love the pay as you go option, there is just to much electronically filed usage history out there, especially if you have another model waiting at home in the garage.
