What to know

Premium cars can cost much more to repair than their asking price suggests. Price a few common parts and find a specialist before you buy one.

What to check

A diagnostic scan, especially on premium and newer cars with many electronics.
The cost and availability of parts for that exact model.
Finance and ownership history on the logbook.
Whether a stated import date and first registration year match the documents.
