Overall assessment
BUY WITH CAUTIONA sound car overall with no structural or safety problems. There are four items worth knowing about before you agree on a price — none of them are deal-breakers, but together they are worth real money at the negotiating table.
Findings
Brakes
MINOREst. $150–250Front pads at roughly 30% remaining. Not urgent, but budget for a replacement within the next several months.
Body/Paint
MINOREst. $200–350Small stone-chip repaint on the rear bumper, consistent with normal wear, not accident-related.
Undercarriage
MODERATEEst. $0 now / $300–500 if it progressesSurface rust on the rear subframe. Not structural today, but worth monitoring — could become a bigger job if untreated.
Tires
MINOREst. $400–600 when replacedRear tires are matched but at roughly 40% tread. Fine for now.
