It was a formerly leased vehicle, and came with ALL service records. I'll have him check to see of the transmission was serviced.

My main fear is this...he traded a perfectly good Chevy truck with about 50K miles in on it. The car has been "Murdered out", meaning it's black on black on black with very dark tint. With the look of the car, and the fact that he got it in SoCal, I'm worried about previous lease holders killing it on the highway.
