Hello, Was wondering if the is any concerns I should have with a used 2009 outlander es? I found a used one with 48000 miles, they want $6500 for it. Seems like a good deal. I gave it a test drive and it seemed great. Mainly looking for something to get me through the winter. Just wondering if there was any major issues with them. Thanks.

 

For that price, you should be fine. There aren't any major issues that i know of.

 

That price seems too good to be true. Word of advice though, take the car to your mechanic for check-up before you buy it

 

I pulled the carfax, got it inspected, everything is good. Place I got it from bought it really cheap at an auction. Driven it the past 2 days and it seems fine.

Anyone know decent aftermarket fog light kits I can buy? . Also the kit to use the hands free calling? Have the controls on the steering wheel but I don't think it has the kit since it's just an ES.

 

Don't know about fog lights, but i would consider an aftermarket bluetooth radio. They are very cheap, you can get a touchscreen JVC or Pioneer and still pay less than adding the OEM bluetooth module.

 

My next purchase for my '10 Outlander is a Pioneer head unit w/Bluetooth and MirrorLink Ready:

I found this wiring harness as well. It allows for a complete solution in wiring the head unit to the factory harness AND allows for the use of your steering wheel controls. It's pricey being from the UK, but worth it in my opinion:

I think i'm going to switch mine out to this one since android auto and apple car play are going to be the thing in the future:

 

So since this is my first car with the stock head unit the way it is, how does one go about replacing that? Not what I'm used to which is pulling the old one out and just sliding the new one in. Is there a whole new front center piece to buy?

Also any place to download an owners manual for the 09? One year I can't seem to find.
