What to check

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.

  2. 2
    Test-drive checklist
    • V6: Listen for a persistent tick or tap that does not clear after an oil change and is not just cold-start injector noise; ask about any rocker-arm, lifter or valvetrain work and any PCM/ECM reflash.
  3. 3
    Get a pre-purchase inspection

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