Also, mechnical suggestions to check when purchasing: brakes, muffler, transmission, head gaskets, tie-rods, etc. If we find a car will be taking to a mechanic for pre-check before making purchase.
Thoughts on car brands, year models to avoid etc ?
Thanks!

I don't know how old your own car is, but a seemingly simple solution may be to purchase a new car for yourself and pass down your existing car to you grandson.
Doing so will assure him of presumably good vehicle maintenance record, and a car in which you have confidence in.
Best of luck with your decision.
