like posted above there is a small list i go over, i ALWAYS ask when the last oil change was, usually they say recently, so check the oil, if it is low on oil either seller is lying, or the car leaks/burns oil quickly, get down and check CV axels as they usually wear out, check the timing belt, you can not just trust someone, check the car on a cold start, that will tell alot about the engine, i usually get a paper towel, hold it to the exhaust and have a friend rev it up, checking for black dots like carbon or oil coming out of the exhaust, main point is, check everything, even when you put the key in check that the engine light comes on, sometimes people pull them to hide something wrong... 5g is expensive enough that you need to spend your time on this one, and if he is a motivated seller then its up to him to permit the car
