What to look for in a used c32?
I'm on the hunt for a used c32, likely '02 or '03 (Canadian car if it matters)
Anything in particular that I should watch out for? Car I buy will still be under warranty, but I'd rather not have a headache if I don't need to.
Any opinions on the extended warranty? Dealers have quoted 2700 (Canadian) for 3 years extra and up to 120,000 Km.

I personally would forego the warranty and use the money to mod (pulley/ecu) the beast. These cars are really reliable on the major stuff. The defects tend to be little stuff like the seat heaters.
As far as what to look for, pull a Carfax and check for accidents. Go to a dealer and pull the maintenance/warranty history. Check the wheels carefully for damage/repairs, as they are expensive to replace.
Good luck!

First I would look for the "Best" car for the less amount of cash.
Low miles, and with an existing warranty. As A rule of thumb
I would never purchase a preowned car without an extended warranty.
Mods are fine, but the peace of mind in knowing that you are covered are far better.
