Prioritize models with the Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission (typically late 2005-2007 AWD models) over the problematic ZF CVT.
Always get a pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic, especially for the transmission and AWD system.
Check for rust, particularly on the rocker panels, wheel wells, and subframe, common in vehicles from colder US states.
Verify service history, looking for regular fluid changes for both engine and transmission.
Test drive thoroughly, paying attention to any unusual noises from the transmission, suspension, or engine.
Compare prices between US auctions (Copart, IAAI) and Ukrainian local listings (RIA) to find the best deal, factoring in delivery and customs costs.
