Question Common Issues/Problems for "knit-pickin'"?

I think I'm just about to sink my teeth into a (pre-owned/used) Escape Hybrid (not sure, but somewhere between an 2005 & 2008 - I think).

What "little things" might I want to look for, and hence attempt to negotiate a better deal with the used-car salesman, or private owner?

Can anyone tell me of anything that is an "Achilles Heel" type of thing with these vehicles, or is a typical, common, annoying little quirk (prob.)?

Thanks in advance,
Glenn ...
