If you’re still interested, ask the owner when you can bring the car to a mechanic. Never buy a vehicle that has not been independently inspected. You’re opening yourself up to a lot of headaches.

Make your notes right away with questions and concerns for your mechanic. Also, take a moment to rate the car. Use this evaluation system to help you out.

If you have any doubts, walk away. There are plenty of cars for sale.
