maybe someone can tell me what to look out for with this thing. 04 civic vp 1.7L, automatic trans. Its for the lady. Car has 25k miles. Car has accident history according to carfax, but is sitting on a used lot at a hyundai dealer in Massachusetts, looks very clean. Carfax says its a one owner car. What should I look at with this one besides the usuals? What is the timing belt change interval for the 1.7 motor? ---

Timing belt is at 80k You don’t have to look for anything, if you’re asking you should NOT evaluate cars you should bring a mechanic… Good luck with long distance purchasing ---
