Paperwork first
Run a vehicle history report and verify the title is clean. Flood-damaged cars from Gulf storms do show up in Dallas.
Exterior and underbody
Look for mismatched paint, uneven panel gaps, rust and fluid leaks.
Mechanical checks
A professional inspection should cover:
- Computer scan for stored codes
- Brake and suspension wear
- Engine and transmission leaks
- Cooling system condition
- A/C performance
- Test drive
