Used Illinois cars are typically less expensive, but have more risk associated with buying.

This check will prevent you from purchasing a "lemon" Illinois car, and is definitely worth the money.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Used Car Rule requires dealers to post a Buyers Guide in every used Illinois car they offer for sale. The Buyers Guide must tell you:
• whether the used car in Illinois is being sold "as is" or with a warranty
• what percentage of the repair costs a dealer will pay under the warranty
• that spoken promises are difficult to enforce
• to get all promises in writing
• to keep the Buyers Guide for reference after the you buy the Illinois car for sale
• the major mechanical and electrical systems on the Illinois used car, including some of the major problems you should look out for
• to ask to have the pre-owned Illinois car inspected by an independent mechanic before you buy.
When purchasing a used car in Illinois it's best to have a mechanic look at it. If you don't want to spend the extra money on the mechanic, check it yourself.
Make sure everything works in the used Illinois car. Radio, heater, windshield wipers, cigarette lighter, rear window defogger, and horn. Test the headlights, taillights, flashers, backup lights, brake lights, turn signals, and parking lights. Check for proper seatbelt operation.
The Illinois car brakes. While driving the Illinois cars at 30 to 40 mph, being certain there is no one behind you, apply the brakes three or four times. If you get a consistent pull, either left or right, while the brakes are being applied, there is a problem with the pre-owned Illinois car.
The Illinois car tires. Check the tread for depth of wear, the tire sizes for matching, and for any other obvious damage. All the used Illinois car tires should be evenly worn. Uneven wear could mean neglect, abuse, improper wheel alignment or bent front-end components.
Under the hood. Check all hoses. Examine the battery for leaks, and check the oil dipstick. If the used Illinois car has an automatic transmission, check the transmission fluid to see if it is dark colored or has a burned odor.
