If buying from a used car lot, you're most likely to encounter buy-and-sell pros who are experts at all kinds of "magic". But it's also a case-to-case basis. May mga unscrupulous at meron matino. Swerte ako noon at nakatyempo ako ng matino. Nevertheless here are some tips:

Always bring a mechanic who can inspect the car thoroughly - whether you buy from a used car lot or from a private seller. Many unscrupulous buy-&-sell pros work from their homes also.
Ask for copies of OR & CR and check w/ LTO
If casa maintained, ask for service records and see if odometer readings match. Do some fuzzy math if distance traveled from last service to the time you're buying is incredible or not.
Check out web sites for tips on buying a used car. Most apply to US markets but many tips can be applied locally.

Mahirap pa ngang bumili sa mga Buy and sell expert na ganyan kaya nilang remedyuhan lahat ng sira pati body at engine buti pa kung may kakilala kang tao na gusto benta sasakyan niya iyon na lang bilin mo para alam mo history ng kotse at kung paano inalagaan sasakyan.

if you know nothing about cars and car conditions (tulad ko

), huwag maglakas loob bumili na walang kasamang mekaniko to thoroughly check the vehicle. . .kahit magbayad ka na sa oras ng mekaniko ok lang yun

as much as possible, stay away from used car lots. . .tama si jack flash, maraming "magic"

Both analog and digital odometer can now be tampered. Most if not all car dealers does this. Kaya dont be fooled by the low millage selling point, its better to buy from direct sellers.

Can the mods here ban him or remove his ads? He has multiple cars for sale that are most likely tampered also.

Not really OT, this may help other potential 2nd hand buyers too. Eh yung mga digital odometer, mapagkakatiwalaan ba ito mga tsikoteers? Pwede rin yata itong ma-tamper eh.

sir kayang kaya i-tamper ang digital nasa 4k lang last balita ko...15mins lang

Similar experience with me, ayun nga lang, mabuti at pumayag yung owner na ibalik ko yung auto kahit kumuha ng 20k, ayun pagkabalik sa kanya, bigla nalang namatay. Naputol yata ang timing belt hahaha tapos in-i-start pa, karma niya, 56k km odo reading yun ha 1997 Nissan Cefiro hahaha.
