Thoroughly inspect for rust, especially on the undercarriage, rear wheel arches, and rocker panels.
During a test drive, pay close attention to the automatic transmission for smooth shifts, any jerking, or delayed engagement.
Request service records, paying attention to transmission fluid changes, as this is crucial for the CD4E's longevity.
If equipped with AWD, test its functionality on a loose surface to ensure proper engagement.
Inspect all suspension components, particularly the rear bushings and control arms, for signs of wear or damage.
Listen for any unusual engine noises, especially in V6 models, which might indicate ignition coil issues.
Check all power windows, mirrors, and other electrical components for proper operation.
