Question 1

Are maintenance records available, and when were the timing belt or chain and the transmission fluid last serviced?

Accepted Answer

At 165,577 miles, the big-ticket services are either done or due. Records tell you which.

Question 2

Has the underbody been checked for rust, and are there any open safety recalls?

Accepted Answer

Older cars in salt-belt states can hide frame and brake-line corrosion. Open recalls are fixed free at a franchised dealer, but you need the VIN to check.

Question 3

What is the out-the-door price in writing, including the doc fee, taxes, title and any add-ons?

Accepted Answer

The advertised price is rarely what you pay. An itemized out-the-door quote exposes doc fees and pre-installed add-ons before you negotiate.

Question 4

What reconditioning was done before listing, and is there a recent inspection or Carfax report?

Accepted Answer

Dealers inspect and repair trade-ins to different standards. Ask what was replaced, what was left alone and whether the state inspection is current.
