Used cars at Dealers

[TypeRPersonality]

Hey, i plan to buy a very old car from a Honda dealership in morrow. But when it comes to the mechanical condition of a car, i'm not sure how to check if it's in good condition. Carfax reports one accident, but no signs of it in pictures. But do Honda dealerships sell bad cars? If possible, what things should i check for?

well its kinda hard to tell someone how to check a car out in a post but just look it over, axles, ball joints, brakes, struts, wheel bearings, look at the tires for abnormal wear, fluid levels, leaks, mounts, bushings, compression test, test drive it...? i dunno look for anything abnormal. how old of a car? in general, old cars are gonna cost u money bc theyre old and stuff is gonna go wrong and if u buy a used car from anywhere, theres a reason its being sold. if it was that super of a car then the previous owner would have kept it. just my

Thanks for the input, turns out the car was a piece of junk. The brakes were bad, bumpers was sagging. And i found out that it was the same dealer that told my friend they had a running prelude when there wasn't even clutch. FCUK WILLET HONDA SOUTH.
