Used Car Inspection Step #7 - After Drive
Get out your newspaper and lay it out under the engine. Watch for leaks. It is possible that the air conditioning condenser will drip water, if it was being used or if the window defoggers were in use. This is typically on the passenger side near the firewall (wall between engine and the seats) and the liquid will be clear and clean water. Any other drips should be viewed with suspicion.
Review this checklist and see if you missed something that you can look at now. Consider how this car has performed, and determine if you should proceed with negotiations or thank the seller for their time.
