Helllo, I might get a used car, is there a certain way to buy one? What should I look/ask for? Such as emissions papers, records? blah blah?

Check the history of the vehicle, goto the person's place and see the floor of any oil drips.

i'm trying to look for a used car as well.

some guy told me. to do this.

take the car on the hiway, then when you come back down to local, see if t he car reacts different. then check if smoke comes outta the pipe right when you come back down.

rev the car from 0 rpm to the highest it can go. the let off the gas and hear for any problems. also for normal engins. 5-6-7 is normal. anything under that ... something's probably wrong with the engin.

open the hood and look for screws that have been tampered with.

either than that... i dunno.

can anyone else give more input about buying a used car?
