Since you have to drive 'em I suggest you get started.

1) It's odd how they bury the mileage somewhere in those listings.
2) #5 has headlight wipers. I hate headlight wipers but am OK with glass headlights.
3) You may or may not want Zenon headlights. They're brighter but each has a starter / power board which is another part to fail.
4) Stick with 15-16 inch wheels. Avoid 17-18 obvious reasons
5) You might prefer to have no tow bar as it'd indicate possible transmission abuse. A tow bar is a 4 bolt installation.....couldn't be easier or cheaper. Don't require it on a car selection
6) Get the transmission as hot as you can.
7) Start engine and open the coolant reservoir(before it gets hot) and see if pressure is going to it (bad HG)
8) The only "transmission switch" I know is the "Winter" switch which starts the unit in 3rd gear. I believe this feature lugs the engine so the wheels don't break free as fast. People spill drinks on the console and the button gets sticky.
9) Get goin'
