Once you've bought a new car

[Simonn]

What do you look for once it's home?
I want to give mine a good look over, but don't really know what to look for. I want to get underneath and check that everything is looking as it should, so some basics to look for would be great, thanks.

Oil leaks, bushes, exhaust leaks, rust etc etc. Just generally see if everything is fine :)

What are bushes? :oops:

For your own safety, take it to a garage.

i would say check for all the usual leaks, rust, straight chassis legs etc. etc before you buy the car
