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.

AWD/4WD drivetrain.

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