Before You Buy

One reported accident.

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

5 previous owners.

Short ownership turnover is a warning sign. Ask why each previous owner sold.

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.
