Pop the VIN up when you get it as the oil is specific to the the engine, along with the mileage.

but i did see , that there is few commen issues, that the evaperator is leaking some times, and the catalitic convertor is some times is bad in those, and the timing .
what can i do to check all those without engine running beside trust the seller word...??

The EB2F has no turbo fitted, so it a bit gutless. Timing belt replacement for Israel is 10 years or 100k miles (165k KMs).

An exchange engine is listed at Just over £3000 and a new engine is just under £5000, so I'd leave this one if I were you.

?the car is for the wife not for me , so tons of power isnt that crucial, i checked about a new engine here its around 3500 ils around 1200 Usd , and cars like cactus are selling in Israel in about 30k ils around 10k usd) , so ould be a good deal .
The catalytic convertor i can check by plug in with lexia , its only the evaporator coils , that i heard that alot of them getting bad , and im not sure i can check it without the engine running...
