Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Request transmission bolt recall records and check for leaks.
3. Verify completion of the air bag nondeployment recall.
4. Ask about engine and fuel-system problems and obtain repair records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Buick dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
