Also obviously check for CEL, and I would also try to find an owner who has already changed the spark plugs at those miles (PITA to do yourself).

tbh the higher trim is nice it just depends if you would like the heated seats and cleaner look and such.
Just be sure to go for a test drive before offering a price as you can try to bring the price down if there are any problems. Not to mention looking UNDER the car for any frame damage, trust me the amount of people that dont know the proper jacking points is crazy. I would do a oil change for customers and ill see that the frame is damage and you can see the imprints of where they jacked it up.
If possible see if a mate or someone you know can come, as when you go buy a car you get excited and over look things, having a second or even third pair of eyes could save you buying a car with many problems.
Hope this was helpful
Good luck  |
These are very helpful. First time buyer on a car and all these small things help. I think I will go with the 2014+ seems everyone on the forum has said there has been small minor problems with the 013's that have been fixed with new editions.
