Walk away if the harnesses have not been replaced. Also get a mechanic to look at it by doing visuals and compression checks. Check the tranny fluid for metal chunks. Lesson learned on that one.

Inside the car, check the electronic windows for any regulator issues.

Overall, the car is nice and the ride is pretty good.
