How To Buy A Used Car

Posted by | December 28, 2011 .

My oh my, the choices, the options, the decisions that come with buying a used car. In this article, I won’t even get into “HOW” to choose a car, but rather once you’ve limited your search down to a select few, I’ll put out a few questions you should ask yourself, the seller or a mechanic to get you through the purchase relatively unscathed.

Questions to ask before buying a car:

Does it have what you need?

There are “wants” and there are “needs”. You NEED a car that runs trouble-free, has had all the maintenance done on schedule, hasn’t been abused, etc. You may WANT a car with leather, sunroof, navigation, heated seats, convertible, etc. Decide what are WANTS vs NEEDS first to narrow your search down even further to make you decision easier moving onto the next several questions.
