Once you understand what it is and how it shows up you know what to look out for. Basically a car that has been serviced by the manufacturer's spec is prone to creating sludge. If it has been used in short trips even if serviced by the manufacturers spec or missed service intervals it is rather certain to get sludge Otherwise nothing particularly bad about them. Cheers Charles PS. The depreciate a lot hence they can be attractive to buy. -- Please remove _removeme_ to reply.
