Congrats on your new endeavor! Hopefully you find the right car. Realistically you need to have a qualified mechanic inspect the car before you purchase it. There are a number of issues any car can suffer from that only a professional with a lift can find for you.
As a an owner, you should look primarily for squeaks, rattles and vibrations. Be sure to operate every button, knob and switch. Open all the doors, hood, trunk gas door.
Electrical glitches are the most common issues so be sure the alarm and stereo all operate correctly. Lock and unlock the car with the key fob and all of that.
Also be sure to have the same inspecting mechanic comb over your service records to be sure the car has been maintained and wasn't a problem car needing an unusual number of repairs.
Best of luck!
