Just so you know, if it is a 20,000 mile car, may still have warranty left on it depending on its age. I've bought many used cars still under manufacturer's warranty and had them serviced (one I had painted under warranty).
For FR-S in US:
Basic coverage: All components other than normal wear and maintenance items are covered for 36 months/36,000 miles (whichever comes first).
Powertrain coverage: Your engine, transmission/transaxle, drive system, seatbelts and airbags are covered for 60 months/60,000 miles (whichever comes first).
Rust-Through coverage: Corrosion perforation of sheet metal is covered for 60 months/unlimited miles
Edit: Once I realized this was Canada, I checked the scion.ca site. Looks like it is still under powertrain warranty, as it would be in the US. I always find it interesting that folks consider a car "out of warranty" when the bumper-to-bumper ends. Me, I'd give that one up altogether for a 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty.
As @
Tcoat said, you will definitely want proof of maintenance service particularly if there is any warranty left. If they can't provide that, don't go any further. I have bought used cars without that information, but typically only after they had more than 100,000 miles on them. With those, I made sure they had a 3rd party inspection.
