			Inspecting the car is partly forensic detective sleuthing, partly psychological warfare. While you're evaluating the car, at the same time you are evaluating the owner (and if possible intimidating them with your knowledge of the car's true worth). Unfortunately, used car salesmen are not known for their honesty. How can you tell if the car you want was driven by a "Little Old Lady From Pasadena" or by a New York City cab driver? How2.com will show you how to spot the clues and crack the case of the great used car mystery.
