What to look for when buying a used car?

Question

Accepted Answer

Above all else you want to find a car that's in good condition. So, check that every feature is working as it should be and look over the outside and inside of the car for any signs of wear or damage.

Not every aspect of a car's condition is easy for an untrained eye to judge, so check the car's service history and consider having a used car history check made. This will tell you if the car has been stolen, written off, or still has outstanding finance. You could also consider a mechanical inspection.
