Hi Jay,
There are a lot of things that you want to consider when buying a used car. Recently I was actually looking for a used car for sale in NH area. One of the big things was actually if I could trust the dealerships. So not really knowing exactly what car I wanted to get looking at reviews of the dealerships was a big thing for me.
Taking a look at those to see if the dealership has been showing good experiences and even tackles some bad ones can help deiced if they are trust worthy.
Then depending on what car you are interested in buying you will want to look up the most common issues for the year and make. Absolutely try to check its service records to see how it has been taking care of.

Just take it to a trusted mechanic, pay him to inspect the vehicle and get his opinion on condition and worth.
You will need to llok for obvious signs of damage and ask for a carfaxx report.
I would recommend using carfax. or Auto check when buying a used car. I did it for my last car, even though I trusted the dealer.
The things that one should watch out for when buying a used Aston Martin is rust and bumps on the car. These things dramatically decreases the value of the car.
When buying a used Acura, or any used car, look at the paint and make sure it matches. Check the tires, engine, miles, vehicle history and wear and tear of the vehicle. Make sure everything works appropriately.
I would have a mechanic look over the car. Take it for a test drive and look over everything. You have to remeber when buying a used car the sale is "as is" which means once you buy it all the problems are yours.
There are lots of websites online where you can find used cars for sale.I would personally recommend you to look on www.autotrader.co.uk/advice/2010/07/buying/inspecting-a-used-car.
be very suspicious if the owner is not American
When buying a used car you should always get a background report on the vehicle. You should always keep in mind what type of vehicle you will need. When buying a new car always keep in mind that there will be things you may need to replace down the road so if you want to be extra safe then you should have a mechanic look at a vehicle your interested in
There is no real advantage when it comes to where the used car was located when it comes to buying a used car. You should always buy a used car from a reptitable dealer and always have the car check out with your local mechanic.
The five good tips on buying a used Misubishi are same as buying for any used car. One is check out engine and mileage: obviously more miles on the car, more trouble in the long run. The second tip is to have someone check it out (like a mechanic friend): they not only see things we forget to see, but know what to look for.
You should try to use a third party service, such as carfax to check the vehicles history. It's also helpful to bring along a mechanic who can look at the car himself.
the very first thing you should look when buying a used car is it's mileage although it can be altered in some cases then also look for the VIN of the car to check it's history if it has been involve in any accident or so. To be sure also you need to ask a professional mechanic to check the condition of the car.
