Tips on inspecting used cars, vans, trucks and SUV's!
Inspect the vehicle in daylight and if possible, choose a clear sunny day.  Faded paint looks glossy and vehicles tend to run more smoothly on a rainy, humid day. | 
Look closely at the tires and wheel rims. Look for uneven wear.
|
Take your time and concentrate. Check for  wear on the seats, carpets and petals. Is the inside clean? Be thorough but discreet. Use a checklist and ask questions. | Take a test drive. Turn off the radio  and listen for sounds. Try smooth and rough highway and city roads.Ask to see a  maintenance history. |
Bring along a friend, two sets of eyes are better than one.  |  Have the vehicle inspected by your mechanic or someone you trust.Check to see if all doors, locks, windows and lights work.  |
 Dress appropriately and bring a flashlight. Look closely at the vehicle as well as under it. Check for rust, scratches, leaks and if it has been repainted (usually indicates an accident). | 
When looking in the engine, check oil and look for frayed tubes and belts. |
