Well, is there anyone that can give me pointers on what I should check for when I'm looking at a used car? What should I check before purchasing a used car, etc?

THANK YOU in advance=)
Calvin, if I were you, I'd hire a mechanic who, during the day, services and repairs that make for a franchised dealer. Pay him well for his time and have him drive and examine the used car before you make an offer. Also, have the dealer allow your expert to put the car on a lift, etc. for full checkover. Buying a used car can be chancy. It might turn out to be the best couple hundred dollars you'll spend----either enabling you to save a bundle off new price for a good as new car or helping you avoid buying someone else's troubles. Also, get a Carfax report. Be careful.
