Hi Mr Scotty,
I am in South Africa, and my question is as follows
Should I buy a 2014 Honda ballade from a dealer (it's an automatic transmission, mileage 106 000 km) with the following problem
Handbrake travelling too high
Atypical noise on suspension
Engine Oil leaking
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
NO!
Thank you so much
The Honda City (Fit/Jazz sedan) is an extremely reliable workhorse, however, the one you’re looking at seems to be not well looked after.
Keep searching for other examples of this car. They are extremely reliable, if you find a good used one.

Thank you so much
No. Any car that has been neglected in repairs, would transform to a disaster. That's why a good maintenance record is important to buy a good used car.
Thank you so much
You're welcome.
