Make sure everything works in the used Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island car brakes. While driving the Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island car.
The Rhode Island car tires. Check the tread for depth of wear, the tire sizes for matching, and for any other obvious damage. All the used Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island car has an automatic transmission, check the transmission fluid to see if it is dark colored or has a burned odor.
