Before you buy

Three things, in order. Ten minutes of work, standing at the car.

  1. 1
    Run the VIN for open recalls

    14 open — all free fixes. Confirm each is closed before you hand over money.

    Check the VIN →
  2. 2
    Test-drive checklist
    • Hot no-start or long hot crank is the early symptom.
    • Unexplained coolant loss with no visible leak; EOT-vs-ECT temperature spread over ~15F at operating temperature indicates a clogging oil cooler.
    • Coolant pushed into the degas bottle under heavy load; ask whether head studs were installed and by whom.
  3. 3
    Get a pre-purchase inspection

    An hour with a mechanic on the items above is the cheapest insurance you’ll buy.
