Check it as you would any used car, but I would pay attention to the front end, making sure it's OK (ball joints, tie rod ends, etc). Also, make sure the A/C is good. That's not super cheap to fix. You won't go wrong taking it to a mechanic for an inspection before you buy. 98 Silver Frost SVT 97 BMW 540I Sport, six speed "Blue is for sky, black is for soil, and white is for simplicity, purity and hope for the future" "A coveted car should never stunt your life, but should make it more rich and interesting."

There's a bunch of people from this area on that forum as well Richard \| Focused 24-7 2002 Focus ZTS...+275,000km and beyond! Ontario Focus Owners Club \| SVTOA-Toronto \| SVTOA Redline Rendezvous
