Before you buy

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

  1. 1
    Run the VIN for open recalls

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

    Check the VIN →
  2. 2
    Test-drive checklist
    • Run the VIN through Toyota's recall lookup and confirm 16V340000 and 20V024000 are complete.
    • Confirm the correct, secured floor mat with nothing trapping the pedal, and VIN-check that the era's speed-control recalls show complete.
  3. 3
    Get a pre-purchase inspection

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