Call a shop you trust and ask what they would charge to go over a car you are thinking about buying. If the seller wants to go with you, that is not an unreasonable request.

There is no lemon law on used cars. You ask the seller to take the car to a mechanic before you buy it. They don't have to let you but I wouldn't buy a car from someone that refused to let me have a car inspected. The buyer would of course customarily be responsible for the cost of any professional inspection. In my area such an inspection would cost around $25-$50 if done thoroughly by a qualified mechanic.

A good tech will spot hidden problems. Check the Carfax too. I recommend looking for a mechanic that isn't located too close to the dealership. Many have ties if they're close by. Independent inspections usually run from $75 to $100. It's the best 100 bucks you'll ever spend on a car.
