A pre-visit list: questions to ask on the phone, and documents to ask for (RC, insurance, service records, pollution certificate, loan clearance or NOC if it was financed) [VERIFY local requirements]. 2. An inspection checklist: body and paint, signs of accident or flood damage, tyres, engine bay, under the car, interior, electricals, AC. 3. A test-drive checklist: cold start, gears, brakes, steering, suspension noises, warning lights. 4. How to judge a fair price: what to compare and what lowers the value. 5.
