Some of the most important things to look for when buying a used car are: the car's service history, the paint surface for signs of emerging rust, the upholstery for small tears that may spread, and mileage and age. Cars wear out not only with mileage but with age so a 7 year old car with low miles might not be a better option than a 3 year old car with high miles.
