1
Inspect the body
What to look for: Paint mismatch between panels (prior accident), rust on rocker panels and wheel wells, door alignment gaps that don't match side-to-side, weatherstrip wear. (9 owner complaints on this vehicle
· typical repair $1,500 · failures cluster ~28,987 mi)
What to look for: Bouncing after bumps, knocking over potholes, sagging on one corner, harsh ride with all the dampening gone. (5 owner complaints on this vehicle
· typical repair $900 · failures cluster ~31,198 mi)
On the test drive: Drive over a series of bumps or a railroad crossing — clunks point to worn end links, ball joints, or strut mounts.
What to look for: Pulsing brake pedal, pulling to one side when braking, squealing or grinding, soft pedal that goes to the floor. (4 owner complaints on this vehicle
· typical repair $450 · failures cluster ~39,338 mi)
On the test drive: Hard brake from 40 mph in a safe spot — pedal should be firm, stop should be straight. A pulse means warped rotors ($300–$600).
What to look for: Dim or flickering dash lights at idle, slow window operation, intermittent infotainment glitches, parasitic battery drain (dead battery after a few days parked). (4 owner complaints on this vehicle
· typical repair $850 · failures cluster ~26,142 mi)
On the test drive: Cycle through every electronic accessory during the drive — heated seats, defrosters, climate fan on max, cruise control. Glitches show up under load.
The seller's transparency on these tells you what kind of seller you're dealing with.
