(NC)-Be aware of the following:

• Inspect the car in daylight and good weather. Bring someone you trust along to help you make a thorough appraisal;
  

• Don't expect perfection in a used car. Compromise on minor problems you can fix yourself, but don't overlook serious defects;
  

• Make safety a major priority. Older vehicles
  may not be equipped with airbags, child safety seats, seat belts,
  anti-lock brakes or security systems. Determine your locality's vehicle
  safety requirements for cars, mini-vans, recreational and sport-utility
  vehicles and other vehicles before you buy;

• Road test before you commit to buy. If you are not allowed to test drive the car, do not buy it.
  

• Have a mechanic you know and trust inspect the
  car thoroughly before you purchase it. Again, if the seller will not
  allow you to have the car inspected, do not buy it.
