I would check the clutch and fluid. See if there are any mods. Also check the front for any repairs. Also see if it grinds on quick shifts when it is cold into second gear.

My seat covers would come loose.
Check right under the driver and passenger seat front. Good luck! |

Check everything over well, and make sure it's in perfect lighting. If it's got the USB port check and make sure it works. Check the rear tires for unusual extra tread wear if it matters to you whether or not someone roasted the tires a few times on burnouts. Make sure they give you the carfax report as well, even though they don't always show the cars true history.

1SS w/ or w/o RS? With your post count I'm assuming you know the difference. Good luck - personally the mileage wouldn't scare me if the price is right. I'd want to know what mods were done - especially if any tunes.

Seriously though there is not to much that can go wrong with these cars that soon unless the previous owner beat it to death.
Beware of the permagrim after you buy it though,my face hurts from smiling too much

The mileage is excessive for an 11,15,000 miles a year is normal make sure the tires are new and if not tell them new tires or no deal,and see if they'll let it go for 22,000 plus TT&L.Good luck

Lol mileage isn't too bad. My 11 has 32k but it's a dd.
Someone on Craigslist in my area is selling a 2010 with mods and had a 20MPH head on collision with 88,000 miles for 21,5. With the mods they have you know it's been hot rodded to death |

Likes others had said, the biggest issues these cars had/have is the griding 2nd gear. I test drove a 2010 before i ordered my 2011 and the gears grinded shifting. If at 40k and no trans issues, your good, but if its notchy, i would walk and honestly look for something with a bit lower mileage. Good Luck
