What should I look out for when I'm trying to buy a used car?

the last time I went to buy a used car I ordered and paid for a CAR FAX I paid for a one month one and could check out as many cars in one moth as I wanted to

one car was a RENTAL and even though it had somewhat low miles....for crying out loud it was a RENTAL CAR and they did not say it was

one other car showed it had a few accidents..now if a car has an accident and it is never reported to the insurance company...and they pay for the repairs themselves..it is not on any records...so look carefully around the fenders and bumpers and under the tail pipe and around the OPEN doors and hood for a little bit of different color paint..this could mean it had damage or it could have just been painted in the past..but this will let you ask questions and certainly think about it

and just because the engine oil or tranny oil looks clean only means they may have just changed it....

take it out in the city as well as the HIGHWAY...gun it, put the brakes on hard to see how it stops and if it pulls or makes noise..look under it ALL for oil leaks

do not forget to find an HONEST ( well as HONEST as you can find) an honest repair shop so you can drive it there for THE repair shop to look it over..yes this may cost a little money, but may well be worth it in the long run

GOOD LUCK

With that mileage and price it's the dream deal! Bring someone with you that knows about engines and check that out as well as tires may need new ones check carfax and see the history of car. That's all i know

What kind of car is it first of all?

A car with very low miles like that selling that cheap.... either someone is severely underestimating the value of the car for that price, or there is something seriously wrong with the car... like its been in a wreck and was repaired but with hidden damage. Either that or the engine is not included. That'll cost extra lol.

Make sure there's no body in the trunk and then pay to have it inspected by a cerified mechanic.

Sounds like you're getting a helluva deal! You buying from your grandmother?

9,000? or 90,000? if it has 9,000 miles its to good to be true.
