If I'm buying a used car off the street

What are all the details I should ask the owner?

-Title,
-Miles per gallon,
-Other miscellaneous details/issues
-what am I missing?

If I go through with buying, it'll be my first car.

I once bought a beautiful van but didn't have a mechanic check it until I had already paid for it. The mechanic said the front end would fall off at any given time and it wasn't safe to drive. The seller argued and said the mechanic was lying and refused to take the van back. I parked it and about a month later, I sold it cheap to get it out of my driveway. A guy with a tow truck came to pick it up and once he had it moved, he knocked on my door to tell me the front end had fallen off and I was lucky I wasn't driving it down a street or highway.
Get it checked out BEFORE you buy it.
