Well when buying a used car in my opinion buy something that will last and also i agree with buying a car that depreciates real quick..
One thing to look for when buying a used car is under the hood to see if it's leaking a lot of oil....when i mean A LOT, i mean dripping oil to indicate that the oil seals are gone which do cost a small fortune to get replaced.
Another heads up about used cars is to see if they have had any flood damage. The best way to know if the car has suffered from flood damage is to have a good look inside the car as the roof lining will start to fall at places and the seat fabric (If buying a car that has cloth covered seats) to be discolored.
And if concerned about the car having been involved in an accident (Like a major one, something like a roll over or etc) try turning on the a/c at full to see if there is broken glass coming form the vents because mostly glass, in the event of an accident get in the vents.
Happy Buying

Here's what I think. You want a car that depreciates like crazy, or else you really should just buy a new one. Manufacturers would cringe for being listed as having this property (think Chrysler), but that's what we're buying used for. Plus, I'm amazed to report that used cars are getting better gas mileage these days. Mpg is getting worse in new cars because hp has gone way up.
If you go to cars.com, you can list many of the cars for sale in all the newspapers in the U.S. You can sort them anyway you want, or you can download them into a spreadsheet and make up more criteria to sort them by.
There are cars out there with 50,000 miles on them that cost $5000. Good, reliable cars that depreciated. That's what you'd look for used.

Well, since i dont know how much you are looking to invest in a car,it is hard to make much of a comment,so i will just say it is a good idea to have someone that is knowledgeable about cars with you when you go shopping..If you have good knowlege of cars,just check the cars good before you sign any paperwork..
