I'm going out with my daughter to look at a car for her. She's an adult, she's buying it, I'm just along mostly for moral support. Doing the dad thing. However, it's out of my wheelhouse, and I want to make sure we don't miss anything.

What sort of things to you look for or check when shopping for a used car?

Do you have any suggestions?

Depending on how much the car costs, pay for an independent pre-purchase inspection. Few hundred bucks but worth it. I bought a car from Florida a few years back and had it shipped to Seattle without seeing it in person first, but getting an inspection done on it before I pulled the trigger gave me all I needed to know (and I wouldn't know exactly what to look for anyways)
