...I should pay attention to? Hi there, I'm in College and I am getting my first car soon . I'm looking around boards and ads and Craigslist for potential deals. Is there anything specific that is really important that I should be paying attention to? such as any specific records/details/etc..? Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
