Buying A Used Car

[hpdog259962]

When going to look at a used car that you are interested in buying, you’ll need to bring along a few items–if you’re a smart buyer. First, do some research on prices for that particular car. Find lists of inspection tips that you can check off. Also, bring a flashlight and a rag with you, and wear old clothes–plan on looking around under the hood. Set up a time during the day to look at the car so you’ll have plenty of light. It’s also a good idea to look at the car in the morning, so you can see how it starts when it hasn’t been driven. Arrive 15 min. earlier than the meeting time–the owner might be getting the car “ready” for your arrival! One last tip: check to see if the owner’s manual is in the car. That usually tells you the car has been taken care of.

Another handy device is a vacuum gauge – fairly cheap to pick up. Do a google search as theres tons of sites that go into detail on the use of this device.

You can also check the VIN on http://www.carfax.com to make sure all the info they are presenting you with on the vehicle is accurate

With Classic Cars Through Carfax dosen’t work.

Right, that’s just a general tip – if your buying used new cars too
