Run, do not walk, to the nearest book store and buy a copy of Edmonston's
"Lemon Aid for Used Cars".  It covers everything you need to know,
and then some...and more...  In addition to having pretty good reviews
on most cars available used.

Lemon Aid tends to be unduly harsh on some cars, but that's a lot
better than not being harsh enough.
