Default Buying 04.5 s40 anything to look out for??

Going to look at a 04.5 t5 tomorrow. Price is reasonable, but I'm wondering if there is anything specific i should look out for. Its priced at about $22,000 with 20k on it. any advice would be great. Thanks

I'd check the weather stripping around the doors (I've had some problems with that) especially if there are signs that a smoker drove the car before you. Otherwise it is a pretty solid car just check the regular stuff: uneven tire wear, rust/oxidation on underbody, mismatched paint, also look in the owner's manual at the service records to make sure that it was serviced regularly.

Last bit of advice, if you are buying it at a dealership go introduce yourself to the service manager, and see what you think of him, becuase this is who you are going to have to deal with in the future and the last two dealerships I've been to, the service departments were awful.
