Thorough Rust Inspection: Pay close attention to the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for signs of rust.
Transmission Check: Ensure smooth shifts in all gears, no slipping or harsh engagements during a test drive.
Service History: Look for records of regular maintenance, especially transmission fluid changes and timing belt replacement.
Engine Condition: Check for oil leaks, unusual noises, and proper idle.
Electrical System: Test all power windows, lights, and dashboard functions.
Suspension Check: Listen for clunks or squeaks over bumps, indicating worn components.
Consider the Diesel: If available and in good condition, the 2.9 CRDi offers better fuel economy.
