To avoid buying a lemon, bring a mechanic or use a checklist: inspect the engine for clean oil and no leaks, check the transmission fluid (it should be pinkish and not burnt), and run the car through both stop-and-go traffic and highway speeds to test acceleration, braking, and any odd noises. Also, look at the service history for consistent oil changes and major repairs, and always get a pre-purchase inspection from a trusted shop before signing anything.
