Prioritize post-2003 models to avoid the common 1ZZ-FE oil consumption issue.
Always check the oil level during inspection, especially on earlier models, and inquire about oil consumption history.
Inspect the soft top thoroughly for tears, leaks, and proper operation of the mechanism.
Examine the undercarriage for rust, particularly on suspension components and subframes.
Test drive the car extensively to check for unusual noises from the engine or suspension, and smooth transmission shifts.
Consider a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with mid-engine Toyota models.
