I know nothing about cars.

The car I'm using has some issues. Most likely the alternator from what I've heard. Buying the parts and paying to get it repaired probably won't cost too much. But it isn't my car so I don't care too much about it. It's my parents car and knowing them, they'll bitch about me using it even if I paid to repair it (which I'll likely do after buying my own car).

Anyways, what are some things to look at when buying a used car? I know absolutely nothing about cars. Until then I'm going to bike to work. Luckily its very close by. My budget for a car is between $2-3000.
