Tips for Buying a Used Car at a Decent Price!

Buying a new used car can be a nerve-wracking experience. It’s important to do your homework before you go in, so research on the make and model of the car, find out the Blue Book value of the car, and check out what other similar cars are selling for in your area. Then, be prepared to ask the seller the tough questions. For starters, you can ask:
• Why are they selling the car: this can often give you an idea of what they might take for it.
• How many owners has the car had: ideally the answer to this is – one, because then the chances are good that it’s been well maintained.
• Does the car have service records: service records are important, at least for any major repairs that have been done.
• What kind of oil does the vehicle use: this is actually sort of a trick question; if the seller knows the answer immediately, it’s more likely the car has had regular maintenance.
• Does the car have a salvage title: this will tell you the history of the car, and if it’s been in an accident.
• Can I have it inspected by my own mechanic: this is self-explanatory; if the seller won’t allow this, it’s not a good sign.
