About 2B Aveo owner????

[kcROB]

I am new to the forum and will be grateful for any advice on my pending purchase of a 2010 Aveo LT 5spd model RTD69 base sedan. Vin # KL1TD5DE9AB058058, Manufactured 12-22-2009, Bupyeong, Korea. The Aveo is located 7-8 hour drive from Kansas City' MO. With 22k miles the history shows that the recal for degraded ignition was closed 5-1-13. The 36k bumper to bumper 3year warranty expired 8-14-2013. At 9,312 miles(5-23-2012) the "boot and plug" was replaced. Can someone tell me what that component is? What also worries me is that at 20,823 mi {5-28-13} the "front lower control arm bushings-both sides" were replaced. Would such a procedure indicate abuse-driving on rural washboard roads- or is it an inherent problem with 2010 Aveos? Are there any other supension problems or other components that I need to have checked BEFORE i buy this car? The dealer asking price is $8.9k. I plan to own this car for at least 6 years for use in KC and AZ. I will be using 5-30 Mobil 1 and the heavy duty Wix # 30387-07111765 air filter, also the Napa Gold #7674 oil filter. Any advice on what to look for on this 2010 LT would be very much appreciated, I'm not sure i can do much more that change oil and filters, but i am eager to learn to do preventive maintenance on this red Aveo or any vehicle that i buy, Thank you!.
