Make sure all the recalls were done. Just check EVERYTHING before buying it.

I just picked up an 04 with A/T, Nav & 70k miles - everything works perfectly and is tight as a drum!

Just look throughout the forum, do searches and check the Garage section for TSB's. Overall it's a great car. Do your homework on this forum before buying one. I was checking this site out months before I actually bought mine, 05 6MT and didn't regret a thing.
