A: I want to buy this used car, but I need help figuring out if there are any problems with it.
B: I can help you with that. Drive the car over by the garage and we'll check it out.
A: I know some things to look for, but I know there are other special things to look for.
B: Always start with looking for signs of major damage that may have been repaired and also check tire wear.
A: If the car has been in a major accident, that should have been recorded online.
B: Right. All major accidents should have been recorded. Next start the car up, pop the hood1, and we'll take a look at the belts and hoses2.
A: I would like for you to take a test drive with me.
B: We'll do that in a minute, but first we should check that the radio, turn signals, and all of the lights work properly.
A: As we drive, what am I checking for?
B: You want to make sure that the alignment3 is good, that the engine accelerates smoothly4, and that the car can safely brake to a stop.
A: I like knowing what to look for when buying a used car and appreciate the help.
