  this is how i've always gone about buying a used car...

  once you've decided on a budget look around at what's available in that range. do some research on the make/models. narrow it down to a shortlist and go and look at and test drive the cars. once you've decided on one, ask to take it to an independent testing facility or mechanic. over here the AA has it's own roadworthy testing facilities and they can tell you everything you need to know... like if the car has been in a serious crash, if there's structural/chassis damage, if all the parts/engine is original and any work that might need to be done (now, or soon).
