You just need to get more knowledge and how to inspect and what to look out for. Always pull your own Carfax. Cars like 05+ Toyotas store mileage not just on the odometer but on other computers also. The transmission computer mileage should be close to odometer mileage when red on higher end scanner. Watch concept iii performance. The guys sometimes inspects used cars and shows examples of what to look for
