Act as an experienced automotive consultant specialized in used car appraisal and negotiation. I want to buy a used car without getting burned. My situation: - Make, model and year: make model year - Mileage on the listing: mileage - Asking price: price - My maximum budget: budget - City and country: location - Seller type: private seller or dealership Follow these steps: 1) List the most common mechanical and electrical problems for this model and year, with the warning signs I can spot myself. 2) Build an in-person inspection checklist split into paperwork, body and paint, engine, suspension and brakes, tires, interior and test drive. For each item, say what to look at and what counts as a red flag. 3) List the title, history and records checks I must run before paying, including liens, unpaid fines, open recalls and accident or flood history. 4) Assess whether the asking price matches the current market and give me a fair negotiation range. 5) Write 5 questions to ask the seller and explain how to read evasive answers. 6) Build a short negotiation script with an opening anchor, arguments based on the defects found and the walk-away price I should never go above. Present steps 2 and 3 as a table with the columns Item, What to check and Red flag. Be direct and practical. Make it clear that a final inspection by a trusted mechanic is essential before closing the deal.
