I'd suggest getting any car inspected by a qualified mechanic. It's worth it to spend a little to give you some peace of mind before purchasing. That is low mileage but it all depends on how the car was treated in previous ownership.

 

Check out tire wear/tread depth.

The rears wear out 2 or 3 times faster than fronts. ( no rotation on these cars- different sizes front to rear).

Figure at least $250/each for tires. You need to have matched tires all around if you're serious about handling.

Actually, Four nearly worn out tire may be the best bet as you can then by 4 tires of your preference

 

Has the top been upgraded to a glass window?

window (if I remember correctly) is still plastic. Still researching car. Have not bought yet.

Thanks for the response

pluses would be if it had an upgraded stereo and speakers with woofer, also good would be if it had a proximity alarm system, (those are expensive to purchase and install). Another plus would be if current maintenance is up to date including receipts, saves you more money. Another thing, run a current CARFAX.

 

I don't agree completely with this. You can rotate many great s2k tires right to left. Also, an excellent full set of tires can be had for as little as $280 plus shipping and installation.
