I’m going to look at a car on saturday and would like some tips on what to look for under the hood. Basically what are the things that you would check if buying a used car from a private dealer?

I’m already getting an autocheck report on the vin.
I’m also going to take my pocketscan code reader to check for any codes.

The car is a 2000 mitsubishi eclipse rs 4 cyl 2.4L 148k miles if that matters at all.
