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.
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.
