i'm looking at picking up one of these for the other half..

quite a few people on here that own one/have owned one, so any
info/tips greatly appreciated.

gearbox? issues?
regular issues?
drivetrain problems?
should i be targetting a particular model/year


searching for something around the 20-23k mark
exhaust only.. no other mods preferred

i always buy private, but happy to go dealership if that's a more secure option for her and/or pricing is not that different.
