Before You Buy...
Whether you buy a used car from a dealer or an individual:
-examine the car using an inspection checklist. You can find checklists in magazines and books and on Internet sites that deal with used cars;
-test drive the car under varied road conditions — on hills, highways, and in stop-and-go-traffic;
-ask for the car’s maintenance record from the owner, dealer, or repair shop; and
-hire a mechanic to inspect the car.
