Buying a used car is a bit trickier than buying a new car although you can follow most of the same guidelines for both. First, know what car you have in mind. Research the car. There is a wealth of information online. Check the car manufacturer’s web site, consumer reports check out the model's repair record, maintenance costs, and safety record and mileage record.

When you are serious about a used car make sure that you have time to take the car to your mechanic for him to give the car the once over, especially if it's being sold "as is". You don't need to find out after the fact that it needs many more repairs than you thought. You can't tell just by a visual inspection. Look at the car during daylight. Any damage, defects or other problems will be easier to spot. Run a title search to learn more about the vehicle’s history. Test-drive it. Any seller should allow this. Have a mechanic (chosen by you, not the seller) put the car on a lift and inspects it.

Take a serious test drive. Test the acceleration and give the brakes a workout. Make sure the steering wheel doesn't wander from left to right or shake. Drive up and down hills, down highways and through stop-and-go traffic.

Do a title search using the car’s vehicle identification number. Vehicle Identification Number is stolen from another car. Criminals obtain VINs by copying them from the dash of cars in parking lots--even at dealerships. Some even physically remove the VIN plate from vehicles in auto salvage yards that allow customers to "pick your own parts." (They do not mean that literally!) The number is used to falsely obtain new ownership documents, or documents are forged. Either way, a cloned VIN allows them to transform stolen cars into pseudo- legal vehicles that can be officially titled and sold. Many thieves work across state lines: Here's what you can do to avoid buying a stolen car:

Check the VIN on the dash against the VIN in the driver's door jamb, under the hood, and on the paperwork

Ensure title and registration documents match the name and address of the seller
is the car from out of state?

Be suspicious if you must meet a private seller in a parking lot. Better to see that they live at the address where the car is registered

Has the vehicle recently been transferred?

Does the seller use a home or work phone number, or just a cell?

Is the selling price oddly low?

Be warned that some used car dealers are getting scammed, too Pay by certified cheque or money order, not cash..
Keep in mind that most private sellers are not thieves, but rather honest, regular folks like you. And prices do tend to be lower with private sales. So if you follow my advice, you can greatly improve your chances of driving away with a "genuine" used car. You’ll learn such things as who has owned the car, whether it’s been in an accident, totaled, stolen or used as a rental car, whether the odometer is accurate, even the length of time the dealer has had it for sale. That might help you negotiate a better deal.
