Looking into buying 2000 Accent GSi
 

Hi there,

I'm looking at a 2000 Accent GSi. It has all the feature which is great although I have noticed a few things I want to know just before I purchase it As Is from a dealer.

First, the windsheild wipers are extremely slow. I wonder if the motors are going or if this is normal or what... and if it would be expensive to fix...

Second, the tranny is 5spd and it's very hard to downshift sometimes, is that normal? I'm pretty sure its jsut cause its a low end car.

Third, is there anything else I should look out for?

The car is IMMACULATE other than the wipers. It has 125000km and is going for about $5400canadian As is.

Thanks for the help

I don't know anything about the transmission, but my bet on the slow wipers is that the battery is weak and might need to be replaced, which isn't a big deal on a used car.

Downshift issue is either the clutch or shift syncronizer.
