Good morning, I am in the proccess of gettin 07 tC. Besides the usual liquids flush and brakes inspection, what else should i focus on? Modding is not an option now.

 

If its 5 speed, check the clutch. If auto check if its smooth between PRND. Also check if all the guages work, last time I bought a car I forgot to look and noticed it days later that the speedometer didn't work xD stupid me.

 

The one i testdrove is manual. The clutch separates kinda low. It engages about 2-3 inches from the bottom and shifts in gear about 2-3 inches as well. This sounds like worn out clutch to me. COrrect?

 

Check and make sure the a/c works and that the heat works. Functionality of all options installed, no excessive noises etc. Take it to a reputable mechanic and he will tell you what you need to know.

 

out tc are known to have too much clutch play. Your clutch should be fine.

Here is what some people do to shorten the play.
