- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 3 recalls this year — ask for proof of repairs.
- Seats — 2 owner reports. Ask the seller and mechanic specifically about this system.
- Visibility — 1 owner reports. Check all exterior lights, wipers and the windshield for cracks.

- Mileage to watch. Owners typically reported problems around 25 miles; ask what was repaired near that point.

- Before you pay: service records, a history report and an independent inspection.
