Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Electric steering: With the engine running, turn the wheel on the spot and at low speed. Heavy steering or a flashing EPS light is a bad result. Ask for warranty and campaign records by VIN.
- Timing chain: Listen for a metallic rattle from a cold start. A rattle is a bad result. Ask for proof of regular oil changes.
- Oil leaks: Check the oil pressure switch and the wiring under it. Oil on the switch or the harness is a bad result.
- Rust: Look at the sills, the bottoms of the doors and the wheel arches. Rust or flaking paint is a bad result.
