Suspension noise that usually is due to the notorious Compression Rod bushings or Lower balljoints.
Cracking in Dash
Tears in Seat
OC issue rare in AT but they are out there.
Valve cover gasket (check spark plugs to see if there is any sign of oil, if there is then valve cover gaskets need replaced)
Radio is a hit or miss, I have 100k on mine with OEM radio still working.

Do yourself a favor and get an 05+
I really suggest you get an 06 since they come with projectors and upgraded goodies along with most issues being fixed from previous years.

 

Thanks for the reply JKL, so I guess it's a good thing if the oil pan is marked. Will it be an obvious mark?

I'm not exactly sure what blip means? Thanks!

 

I cant say a marked pan is good or bad. A lot of people had hard times getting a replacement engine and convinced nothing was wrong. It should be yellow, blue, white, or any color really around the drain bolt. blip is a quick mash of the throttle.

 

Thanks JKL, I guess I shouldn't have to worry too much about to OC issue since I'll be getting an Auto (I know but I hate driving MT during traffic).

 

If you can do a compression check on the motor without having to go out of pocket too much it might help with trying to see if the car has an OC issue. Not really realistic but it could help make the decision if the car is worth it or not. I know with it being a auto you have less chance of it but better safe than sorry.
