before buying secondhand car check "Exterior"

(1) Body Rust: check the large body panels, the inner wings and the sills.
(2) Color Matching: Varying color shades on a panel indicate that the car has been in an accident.
(3) Dampers: bounce the car at each corner. If it bounces more than twice you will have problems with the dampers.
(4) Tyre Tread: Check for uneven wear
(5) Door Alignment: If doors do not align exactly with body panels this could indicate an accident.
(6) Lights: Check that lenses are not cracked.
(7) Mileage: If the mileage is much higher than an average of 10,000 miles for each year, this may indicate that the car has been used as a fleet vehicle.
(8) Driver’s Seat: A sagging driver’s seat along with worn foot pedals are indicative of a high mileage. If the odometer doesn’t indicate this, it has probably been wound back.
