Before You Buy

One reported accident.

Ask the dealer for the Carfax and repair invoices. Minor damage is usually fine; structural damage isn't.

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.

Manual transmission.

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