Before You Buy

✓

One previous owner.

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.

Manual transmission.

Test clutch engagement point (should be middle of pedal travel, not top) and check for slippage in higher gears under load.
