Patience is definitely the key trait if you want a good deal on the car you want, but also having done your research kept the pressure off me and on the salesperson in my case. Most sales reps are only educated in the basics of each vehicle. I found that by being overly educated and showing that you know what you're talking about, down to factory names for the engine and transmission, can really put someone on their heels. I also inquired about the rear gasket issue in the pre-2012s I looked to see how much they really knew about the car.
The dealer I bought from was the guy who brought up EVERYTHING about this car when I simply asked him to tell me about the car a little he was very knowledgeable and was honest about the quirks and any issues with the car.

If you search up "rear timing cover gasket leak" on google or the forums, you'll find out more info. The paper gasket used will sometimes fail prematurely, causing a leak and an expensive repair. Mostly affects G's made before 2012, as models after that used a steel-reinforced gasket which is a lot less prone to failure.
