What should I do if the Check Engine light is on?

If that light is on, the car's computer has found a problem. It could be something small, like a loose cap, or something big, like a failing engine part. You should have a mechanic check the code before you pay for the car.

Is high mileage always a bad sign?

Not always! A car with more kilometres that was driven mostly on highways and had regular oil changes can be better than a low-mileage car that was never taken care of. Always ask to see the service records.

How can I tell if a car was in a flood?

Check for a musty or mouldy smell inside the cabin. Look under the carpets or in the spare tire area for signs of mud or rust. If the headlights look "foggy" or have water inside them, that is also a warning sign.

Should I worry about a small oil leak?

Small leaks should still be fixed. Oil can drip onto hot parts and cause smoke or even a fire. It also means you have to keep buying oil to refill it. Ask a mechanic for a repair quote so you can negotiate a lower price.
