I’m going out with my daughter to look at a car for her. She’s an adult, she’s buying it, I’m just along mostly for moral support. Doing the dad thing. However, it’s out of my wheelhouse, and I want to make sure we don’t miss anything.
What sort of things to you look for or check when shopping for a used car?
Do you have any suggestions?


I have a list but it’s easy too long to post here. I tell the sales guy to go away since it’s going to be about half an hour before I am even ready to start the car.
I guess one simple piece of advice is to get a code reader and plug it into the OBDII port to see if there are any codes. Done will verify the mileage.
