ok, my car was recently demolished by a driver who ran a red light so now i have to get a new one (well, new to me). so i'm now shopping for a used vehicle and i'm wondering if anyone can give some advice on questions i should ask when buying a used vehicle and things i should look for since i dont really know much about engines.
one thing i specifically want to know is howi can find out a vehicle's background (ie. has it been in accidents before). how can i find this out? i dont really expect a seller to come righ out and give me this information.
thanks in advance. any/all advice and suggestions are appreciated.
btw, to be more specific, i'm shopping for a 2000/2001/2002-ish vehicle, probably an SUV.
