  well, for me. When getting a second hand car, don't go for the cheapest, a 93 esi can cost from 20k to 40k, depending on quality.
  
  Things to check for: General body condition, paint condition, visible dents/scratches, Interior seats condition, speaker/stereo/HU condition, If possible, try to get someone to check out the engine and handling condition.
  
  Maybe some of the guys here can add more to the list.

  If the car makes creaking noises when conrnering it could indicate the CV joints are worn, not a biggie but may need replacing about 300 - 500 bucks, quite common in 2nd hand cars
