Hey! So I am trading in my 2014 V6 vert premium and upgrading to a used 2018 GT Convertible Premium. Seems like 80-90% of them out there were rentals. I took the risk with my '14 which was also a rental, and other than some pretty good valance chips and a few scratches, it really has been an awesome car! I have a good deal set up on a <30k miles one that I'm picking up on the 4th of July (happens to also be my birthday. Best Birthday Present Ever! lol) What are some things with the engine to look out for before I sign on the dotted line? Obviously I'll be checking the front for curb strikes, and the wheels for curb rash, and other general things I call "rental rash". Also planning on the usual suspects- groves in the rotors, worn bushings, etc. But and other common things to look for? And how about that engine?
Thanks in advance! If all checks out and goes well, I'll be posting pics of it soon!
