308 PRE-PURCHASE ADVICE THREAD

There always seem to be folks asking what to look for when thinking of purchasing a 308. I thought we should start a thread and make it a sticky giving advice on what to look for and what to avoid.

Post your advice like:

*Get a proper pre-purchase inspection (PPI) done at a reputable dealer.

*Find out when the timing belts and valve adjustment (Major service) were last done.

*Check for rust in the bottom forward corner of the doors. Open the door all the way and look underneath.

*Check for rust around or just below the rear side marker lights.

*Check for rust in the trunk floor pans.

*Check for cracks or de-lamination/fogging in the windsheild.
