if your buying ANY car look for rust, damage to the chassis, bondo (if it has bondo then most likely its been in a crash which means possible chassis/frame damage.) and check the heater hoses and guages just to make sure everything seem ok.
theres probably more things i left out because im lazy
close to 100k? if that means less than 100k go for it! the ka has super longevity. my brothers SOHC ka had close to 230k when he started drifting it and had around 260k when he swaped it out for a sr. AND it was still in running condition. if its a DOHC (most likely) even better. well good luck on your car and welcome to drifting.com -
KA's refuse to die, really the only things you have to look out for are the standard problems you see with all aging cars.
Most of the "problems" with 240's aren't problems that will cause damage to the car. The most notorious ones are:
timing chain rattle (can be fixed by taking off the upper chain guard)
exhaust rattle (can be fixed by taking off the exhaust shield) Simple. :P
Make sure to run a carfax too.Comment
