a normal couple things to check is crouch a couple feet from the car and make sure evrey thing is straight to amke sure it hasn't been in any accidents. any parts taht look funny, use a small fridge magnet, one of the cheap ones. if its metal it will stick, but if it doensn't there is bondo so u need to ask why lol. no pudddels under the car cuz unless u wanna haul the engin otu there can be some gagests ont he back that need redoing that will cost round 1200 CNDF to fix as i found out. amke suyre the idle isn't rough at start, check for ornage lettering under the hood on parts and saee howmany are from a scrap yard. pull the e-brake to make sure its not seized. if it rained recently feel the carpet and see ho0w wet it is so you kwno how much repair is needed on the floor. ask for a gas recit to see what kinda milage the car is actually getting. anything else i'm missing guys and gals? hope some of that helps. its all problems i found with mine. all minor cept the gasget job.
