What are some things I should look at when buying a used car?
8th October 2010
So i want to buy a used car. It is a 1999 Range Rover. Before I get it they said I could take it to a mechanic and have it checked up. I was thinking about just doing it myself. If i do this, what are some things I should look at on the car. Ex. Tailpipe? Belt? Help me out mechanics.. Thanks everyone!

Not to sound rude, but if you have to ask, take it to a mechanic. Im not a mechanic but have sold and owned many autos in my life. I take cars to a mechanic when at all possible. I don’t have the training and experience that a well trained and self taught Professional mechanic has.

We told you not to. That’s strike one.
We tell people to get it inspected by an independent mechanic; you refuse. That’s strike two.
We tell you not to come asking questions on "how to fix X" or "can I return Y because it’s falling apart"; you’ll get there. And that’d be the third strike.
Cars are not shoes. You can’t look at a car and tell how poorly built it is (unless it’s a kia) and how durable it’s going to be. When you buy a used car it’s as-is without a warranty. You can play that game with several automotive manufacturers and win; no one wins with a range rover/land rover and jaguar.
Side note: what is looking at the tailpipe going to tell you? If the car had taco bell yesterday?

If you’ve got a car in mind that’s used and you want to buy it, get the vehicle history report so you know what’s already been done to it and what kind of shape it’s actually in. I’ve been using a free promo from a company called InstaVIN to get vehicle history reports on some prospective used cars myself since I’m looking too. It’s good for all this month and you get the info you need for nothing. All you have to do is text the 17 digit vehicle VIN # to “INSTA” or 46782. They’ll hook you up from there with the information, trust me it’s worth knowing what’s already been a problem on the car so you can anticipate what might be next.
