Is there anything in particular I should look for as far as problem areas? Any recalls on this year? It has 120,000 miles on the clock. I will definately be replacing the water pump if I buy it.
Thanks for the help.
ask around the site for a carfax and an oasis report those should give u a good idea of the vehicle's history and if there are any open recalls on it...
might be a good idea to have the atx inspected if it hasn't already been replaced...some have gotten lots of miles out of their atx's but a few, myself included had to replace the atx at less than 100k
