Before You Buy

✓

One previous owner.

Suspiciously low miles for the age.

Verify against the title's odometer history (Carfax). Rollback is rare but devastating.

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.

AWD/4WD drivetrain.

Confirm all four wheels engage. Differential and transfer-case service runs $200–400 every 30–60K miles.
