It looks fairly clean on the outside and inside for a 20 year old vehicle so I'm assuming it has some major internal issues.
There is zero information on the online ad. KM's are low for a B5 especially in my area they are all usually 200-250K at least, this one has zero rust as well it looks like.
If it doesn't have any major issues like transmission (I heard the ZF 5HP19 transmission can be troublesome no?) what should I be looking for to check?
I just want to fully check it out before I buy a lemon and why not I'll get a PPI at the dealer to be safe.
I really just don't want to be in situation where it works fine but the seller lies about something and it's has a major issue and I'm stuck with a $2000+ bill on a $699 car.
