I look for "one owner" types and not dealerships. Mileage indicates use to me, so if I am not going to tack on a huge amount, higher mileage and less expensive is fine. I love it when they have the paperwork and I ask to take it with me. When I sell, it will help me too. I ask about repairs and leaks and then I see how they did them...shop or duck tape or does it look really good. If the engine bay is too clean or only clean in certain areas, concern. I don't want to see a clean engine unless it is still like that from new. I want to see the seepage or leaks if there are any. On this note, I ask where it is usually parked so I can see if leaking in any one spot. For me the two most important things are engine and roof. Does the roof leak and if so where and what has been done? I will climb up to inspect if it looks like I could be making an offer. The person selling has something to do with it too. Good people have nothing to hide and come across that way typically. Lastly, I look at my surroundings. Yard meticulous or overgrown. Condition of other vehicles/house are considered.
One piece of advice from my experience...don't be in a hurry. I try to look at only newer listings that way I am not wasting my time or the sellers. Each time I have sold mine it has sold in first few days and I think each of the things I listed above are why I haven't had trouble buying or selling. Best of luck!
