Check to see if the car was in a major accident. Look inside door jambs. Check if they are of a different colour - indicating that the car was painted. Arriving near the radiator for a different color of paint. If a car had an accident, they are places that people are often not repaint. Journal of the places where the car may have been pressed and then fixed by running your hand over the body. You will feel humps and valleys in the car.
Check tire wear. All rotation should be evenly. The tires have been driven with too little on the air pressure will be brought on the wings of the impression more than in the middle. Tires that have been conducted with far too will be spent on rolling in the middle of a tire. Indications of tire maintenance mediocre or misalignment or no alignment that would rotation is unevenly worn - a front tire can be dealt with a side of the tire only.
Check the suspension by the car bouncing up and down. There should bounce once or twice, then reach an immediate halt. If not, then you will need to shocks and struts.
Check all fluids. Liquid transmission (if it is a stick shift) should be a pink colour and the smell should not burn. Oil should be very close to the light or light-coloured. Otherwise, it is an indication that the oil has not been changed as often as it should have been, but not a deal breaker. Check water, brake fluid and power steering fluids. If one is weak in the car looking for any signs of leakage.
Take the car for a test drive. Before you leave, tap the brakes a few times. The brake pedal should be nothing more than a little over half of the floor. While test driving, be sure to make left turns and right, fast and slow speed, drive at least 60 km / h and drive slow. If you hear clicking when you turn, you may have to replace your CV axles (this is generally not a costly repair). Make sure the direction is nice and tight.
Test your car mechanic to have any check, to make sure you do not miss anything. If you find things that are wrong (after all, this is a used car), you want to take your car mechanic to ask him if it is worth buying the car and how Repairs will cost.
