There's no point in committing yourself to a larger car loan than you can afford. Have any questions about the car written down before you see it, and don't be afraid to push the seller for answers. Ask if the car has been involved in an accident and look for any visible signs of repaired damage. Ask if the car is an import. Check that the mileage is consistent with the condition of the car and the records kept in the service history. ALWAYS take the car for a test drive before committing to a purchase.
