    Check that the one old lady owner actually owned the car.

    You first of all walk around the car rubbing your chin,and pulling, a face like a bulldog thats swollowed a wasp,give the tyres a good kicking,pull out the dipstick,that will have black grimey oil on it,get underneath to look at the rusty hole in the exchust pipe,rub your chin again,look intelligent,ask how maney lady owners its had, then say are you willing to negotiate,

    You better have insurance and a license to drive first.

    Decide what your price range is. Then, go to the dealer's lot, b/c their used cars have  supposedly had the mechanical problems fixed before the put it on the lot. We've had pretty good luck with dealer  used cars. The last one I bought only had 12,000 miles on it b/c it was a lease car and someone turned it in . They must have had no children, or grandchildren and didn't smoke. either  :-)  It's still running well, and it's a red   '03 P T  Cruiser. It has about 45,000 miles. This year is my car's  10th birthday  :-)
