Answer
Ask about accidents and recent service

when you look over the car, look down the sides of the car to see if its been hit, look at the oil see if its clean, rub the oil between your fingers to feel for metal shavings( you dont want any) pull the tranny fluid stick smell it-does it smell fresh or burned. feel it with your fingers for metal shavings.
test all the lights and turn signals, make sure there are no shorts, test ac wipers electric windows etc
look at the tires for wear or uneven wear
look underneath for rust
drive the car, does it wander off the road or track straight
does it shift firmly. check for check engine light
drive the car to a clean area and let it idle, then back up and see what leaked out if anything

good luck
