Default Some things you should get checked out when getting a car checked out...

...before buying?

Theres a 97' Accord V6 Im thinking of buying for the wifey and I want this car to be reliable.Should I take it to my mechanic that works on nothing but Hondas but doesnt have extreme high tech equipment or just a Firestone?

Also besides getting Compression check and timing etc...what are some other things that should be checked out.

BTW its got 27k miles

Thanks
