Any additional tips would be appreciated. This is what I know: 1. Look at the tires for tire evenness. 2. Look at transmission oil to make sure it's pink/red and not black and smelly indicating a bad transmission. 3. Match VIN number from winshield to engine, doors, trunk. 4. Run my fingers through the paint on the hood cover to see if the car was repainted indicating that the car was hit in the front. 5. Check AC/heater to make sure they're working. 6. Look out for noisy engine. 7. Take it to a mechanic. 8. Perform an oil change before buying to see if engine makes noise, to make sure that the seller didn't put thick oil in it to hide the noise. 9. Look for leaks. 10. Look for paint shade uneveness. 11. Oil change stickers and maintainance receipts. 12. Carfax history. 13. If car was a lease (usually those guys don't take care of their cars!) ANY OTHER TIPS ANYONE? I ALREADY GOT BURNED ONCE BY AMIN AUTO GROUP IN ANAHEIM. ANY OTHER TIPS PLEASE? THANKS!

Lift and remove the back seat if possible. You always get the used car salesman who says some old lady owned it and kept it clean. Knowing it just got a good detail. But most detailers don't clean the food out of the cracks.
