Before you buy

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

  1. 1
    Run the VIN for open recalls

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

  2. 2
    Test-drive checklist
    • VIN-check that both recalls are closed (17V209000 coolant-level sensor installed; 13V583000 completed).

    Get a pre-purchase inspection

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