Hello Sonic owners

I am new to the forum and actually I am planing to purchase a used 2013 Sonic RS with 51k miles on it.
Please let me know what should I check before I will get it.
I've already read all the info and all the specs about it and test drove Sonic LTZ.
I really liked this car! It has enough of everything for me.
But money wise I want to get a used one.

Should I take this used Sonic RS to Chevy dealership and let them check it for me before I will pay to the guy who sells it?

51k miles is it too much in terms of reliability?

Please provide me some feedbacks.

Thank you!

Greg.

Not sure of your budget but you should be able to find a used LTZ pretty cheap.

If your willing to drive far to find the exact one you want...you should be able to find one..thats what I did.

If the used RS is super cheap and has everything you want then it may be a good deal..don't get stuck with any high car payments you don't want.

12700$ this is the price for 2013 RS with 51k miles on it (fully loaded, except the backup camera)
Is it reasonable price?

Now the question is only about reliability and longevity. Thats why I am asking for feedback.
I really like the car, how it looks and how it drives, but I am afraid that 51k miles is a huge mileage for car with turbo. I dont want to end up going to mechanic every three or four weeks. I've already had a very unpleasant experience with the used Mitsubishi Lancer.
So I am kinda have a dilemma - take a risk and get this used fun and cool Sonic, or just get a used Corolla 2009-2010 which is reliable, but boring...
