Check on the test drive
- Start the engine cold: there should be no smoke, shaking or odd noises.
- With the ignition on, all warning lights should flash once and then none should stay lit.
- The brakes should not shudder, pull or squeal.
- On a straight road the car should not drift when you loosen the wheel; there should be no thuds or creaks over bumps.
- The air conditioning and all electrical equipment (windows, mirrors, multimedia) should work.
- The clutch should bite high; gear changes should not be hard and there should be no slipping when pulling away.
