Before You Buy

One previous owner.
i
Suspiciously low miles for the age.
Verify against the title's odometer history (Carfax). Rollback is rare but devastating.
i
Car is 10+ years old — budget for age-related maintenance.
Expect to replace within 2 years: tires, battery, hoses, possibly timing belt, water pump, suspension bushings.
i
AWD/4WD drivetrain.
Confirm all four wheels engage. Differential and transfer-case service runs $200–400 every 30–60K miles.
