That reminds me of a used car I bought. While signing the paperwork at the dealer they told me the car comes with no warranty and asked if I knew what that meant. I replied that I did. The manager then said "Let me explain: When you drive off the lot onto the street, if the car breaks into two pieces, you own both pieces. Do you understand?" Yup, got it.
About transmission fluid: I have had the fluid drained and replaced on vehicles at about 70,000 miles, only if I have used them for towing frequently. I just feel that towing places a significantly higher strain on the transmission.
I have a friend that tows trailers with a GMC pickup. About 80% of the miles he drives involve towing trailers that weigh about 2,000 pounds. His last two pickups have both had transmission failures at about 60,000 miles.
