Inspection priorities
These questions follow from the advertised specification. They are not a diagnosis or a claim that this car has a particular defect.
Tires and roadworthiness
Inspect the date-coded tires and budget from their measured condition before sustained road use.
Build quality
Examine engine/transmission mounts, cooling, brake installation and wiring; request the modification invoices.
Before contacting the seller
The seller discloses 2016 tire date codes and an inoperative clock. Treat the odometer as miles shown, not established lifetime mileage.
