Before You Buy

⚠
Sold as-is — no dealer guarantee after sale.
Only buy after an independent pre-purchase inspection. Negotiate accordingly.
✓
One previous owner.
i
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.
