Any pointers when shopping private party?
Hello, this weekend I will be looking at a 2004 Toyota Prius for $16,000 obo @ 20k miles. Is this ok? I will be going through a private party. Any pointers before I head out... This is what I have so far on my list, please add anything:
1. Check carfax
2. How much should I bargain?
3. What to look for in the hood?
4. Test drive
Thanks... hope to hear from ya soon.

If the car is automatic, pull the tranny dipstick, wipe the fluid on your fingers and see if theres a burnt smell. burnt smell = future trans problems
Get under the car and look for leaks.
