Used Car?

[mpalcknid]

I’m in the market for a used car and looking for some advice. There are so many used cars for sale out there, but I’m not sure where to start. Is it better to buy from a dealership, a private seller, or online platforms?
What should I be looking for when checking out a used car to make sure I’m not getting stuck with a lemon? I’ve heard things like checking the car’s history report and having a mechanic inspect it, but is there anything else I should be doing?
Any tips would be helpful.
