2002 problems/quality issues

I'm looking at buying an 02 6 spd with 56k miles. Can someone please give the laundry list of issues that I need to look out for once I purchase it?

thanks

I just bought one with 60K and in short, it's a great car. But be forewarned that the dealer will want $500 for the 60K mile servicing.

But for the most part, the 2k2 with a six speed is a wonderful choice.

I also just got an '02 6 speed with 52K on it. So far I love the car even though it's an understeering barge compared to my B-14

Another funny attribute I find is it's terrible turning radius. My Durango is an easier car to park than the Max. But the Max is a joy to drive (and the Durango isn't :-)

Cheers
