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?

Take it to your mechanic or hire a mobile mechanic to inspect it. It's worthwhile even on the cheapest used cars available nowadays. I and several of my friends have used Lemon Squad before with good results if the car isn't local, but there are plenty of similar services online. If it's local and you know/trust a mechanic already take it there.
