I AM LOOKING TO BUY A 2002 CHEVY CAVILIER WITH 112 THOU MILES ON IT WHAT MAJOR PROBLEMS SHOULD I LOOK FOR BEFORE I PURCHASE IT

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. Make sure you check the engine compartment. Check for burnt wires, loose wires. Check for large oil spots on the engine and under the engine. If it has a lot, there may be a major oil leak. Listen for any noises the motor makes while at idle. Check to make sure all the fuses are there. Check the oil, transmission fluid, coolant fluid, and power steering fluid. Check the front and back axle. Ask to test drive it and ride it hard for a few miles. Check out the brakes, check all gears. Feel for any stalling or vibrations. Check all things such as lights, signals, air and heat, headlights, taillights, and brake lights. Check radio and wipers.
