There are several types of second hand cars. A second hand car may be imported one (several countries of Asia and Africa allow import of second had car form Japan and these are called “Reconditioned car”) or one can buy from local user or second hand car dealer.
Things to consider while buying a second hand car:
1. Make, Model and year of Manufacture: Say for example, Toyota Premio,
2. Engine CC: Always buy car above fifteen hundred CC, if you want run Aircon.
3. Odometer reading: Around fifty to sixty thousand kilometer
4. Age: five to six years
5. Checking : Engine test report, Fuel consumption report and overall checking in reputed workshop at your cost
It may be mentioned here that you may resell Toyota brand car again at a very good price.after using for five years when the odometer reading will be one hundred thousand kilometers.
The most important thing is examined in a specialized office examination mailIt must not be more than five years old
Thanks for the invite ............................ Leave an answer to the experts
The following points needed to be checked,
Check for the vehicle performance so that atleast you can run the vehicle for 2 years without any major corrections
Total km's travelled, because speedometer replacement may not show the actual reading, hence checking few other facts like Engine overhauling details is a must
Year of Manufacture and related km's covered should be reasonable
Few details like tyre replacement pattern, service cost, oil changing frequency etc., will give us how well car has been maintained by first hand
Always check for hire purchase cancellation in RC book, if applicable
Look for abnormal sounds during idling and running so that will indicate any probable failure mode.
More importantly we need to spend few amount to correct few things seat cover and similar products by replacement
Hello Team,
Think about your real needs for everyday driving. Write down what you need from your car and what you want your car to have and arrange the items in the order of importance. For example: 1. Must be cheap on gas, because I drive a lot.2. Must be reliable, because I don't want to spend too much on repairs. 3. It must have good rear seat space to fit a child seat.4. Must have side airbags and antilock brakes. 5. Must have a cruise control. 6. It's nice if it will look sporty. 7. I'd love to have an auxiliary input for my iPod. Now it's easy; if good gas mileage is your priority, start with fuel economy ratings (see next paragraph) and make a list of cars that you like that are good on gas. Check the Autotrader and see which of these models are available within your price range and scratch those that aren't. Check reliability ratings of remaining models and scratch off the poorly-rated ones and so on. In the end, you are going to have three or four models left on your list and you are ready to start shopping. By the way, if one day you really need a big truck to haul something, you can just rent one; it's not that expensive. And if the weather is nice, you can rent a convertible for a weekend too; just book it in advance. If you really need an auxiliary jack for your iPod and the car doesn't have one, you can buy an aftermarket iPod adaptor; it's easy to install.

I support the answer given by Mr. Fazlur
Consideration for buying a second hand car would be:
Ownership confirmation of the seller
Car must not be involved in a major road accident and then repaired
No of KMs done
Major repairs gone
Availability of spare parts and service technicians
Fuel consumption.
Second hand cars term is no more used.
We generally call these type of cars now as PRE-OWNED CARS.
This is because these cars have still a considerable residual,reliable life left.
Imp Pts which require consideration are whether there is any independent and third party certifying the serviceability of the car and ready to do handholding for buyer for at least 1-2 years.
A confident ecosystem will help develop a vibrant USED CAR market at par with the new market.
