Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Lift the car and check the rear axle carrier for rust. Rust that has eaten through means a repair of about 2,000 EUR (year not stated).
- Turn the key several times. Clicking with no start, or a steering lock that stays locked, means the electronic steering lock is failing.
- Start the engine cold and listen. A rattle that lasts a few seconds points to a stretched chain. A scanner can show codes P0016 or P0017. Ask for timing chain and tensioner records.
