When shopping for a used cars kicking the tires is a poor way to test the vehicle. I can tell you the correct way to test the car. Here are a few ways to test the car instead of kicking them old tires. Please be aware. I am a 27 year Automobile Tech. with ASE Certifications

• Look under the car for mud and rust. 
• Look at the front tires for uneven tires
• Take for a test drive then look under the car for Leaks
• Listen for engine knocks coming from the motor
• If the transmission slips in gear get rid of it.
• If its hard to start get rid of it.
• While test driving make sure the car goes straight and not pull to one side
• Of course make sure the Check Engine Light and Brake light is not illuminated
• Remember once the car is driven off the Lot its your problem NOW. 
• Now under the hood. The car engine is power washed and shined before sold.
• Inspect the cracked belts

• The transmission fluid should be pink in color

• The engine oil should be light brown color.
• The antifreeze should be green in color. The brake fluid should be brown Not Black

These are a few things to look for buying a used car. Please feel free to copy and pass it on to your friends. Keep in mind used car dealers DO Not keep up on regular preventive maintinance such as timing belts, fuel filters, transmission filter and fluid change, flush and fill on the antifreeze,  brake fluid flush and fill and Brake and brake hoses. They call this normal wear and tear. YOU are respoFnsiblbe for those expensive repairs.If you are mechanically inclined pull out a spark plug and see how damaged the spark is damaged.
