first the owner look around at his home where he keeps the car it shows how he keeps the car check the rear tires make sure they arent bald engine bay if theres oil in the engine bay like more then if he spills thats all big red flags when i look at cars

all in all if it looks like the person beat on it u might end up with pain down the road

Get a spark plug socket and take out few spark plugs on the car you are trying to get, look on the bottom, if they are GRAY color or so, its a good operating car, if darker color close to black or even black, it means the engine is not very good and you will have problems later.
