Questions to ask the seller

Questions worth asking the seller of this Hyundai before you buy, drawn from its public record:

  1. Owners of this model report engine problems more than anything else (owners tend to report it near 6k miles). Has this car shown any engine symptoms, and are there repair records for it?
  2. Owners of this model report electrical system problems more than anything else. Has this car shown any electrical system symptoms, and are there repair records for it?
  3. Has this car been in any accident or had any structural, airbag, or flood-related repair? Do you have a clean title and a recent history report (Carfax / AutoCheck)?
  4. How many owners has it had, do you have the maintenance records, and why are you selling it?
  5. Are you open to me having an independent mechanic inspect it before we settle on a price?

A well-maintained example of an “Avoid” can outlast a neglected “Buy”. Informational only, so always get a professional pre-purchase inspection.
