Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- On a lift, press the front wing edges, wheel arches, boot lock area and bonnet slam panel. Bad result: bubbling paint, soft metal or fresh filler. Ask whether the front wings were replaced or only treated.
- Open and close the roof twice from the switch and time it. A full cycle takes about 25 seconds and should finish within 28 seconds. Bad result: a slow cycle, a stop halfway, or a flashing switch. Look at the front cylinder for leaks and the headliner for dirt.
- Lift the boot trim behind the rear roof area. Pour water down the drains and watch where it comes out. Bad result: water in the boot well or a damp central-locking unit.
