[QUOTE="Psykit, post: 586923, member: 25223"] I normally go by a few principles: - do not believe the mileage reading on the dashboard, most like likely it is tampered and not original. - Check for original parts, i.e. headlights, taillights, body parts, some are OEM/Taiwan fakes. - Check underlying carpet and walls to check for previous accident areas, normally you can tell from the not-so-perfect repair. - Check undercarriage for leaks and insist on dealer to give you at least 1 month's warranty on leaks or malfunctions. - Most cars that has good/new batteries are normally swapped with old ones, so be prepared to change them soon, or prepare yourself with a thick and fat jump start cable. It won't start with those thin so-called 300Amps cables. [/QUOTE]
