used car buying

Buying a used car is not difficult. Here are some guidelines for you
when considering purchasing a used car:

1. Window-shop around first before doing the final selection. Allot
one day to visit a dealership to look around and test-drive the cars.
Do not buy the first time you see a car. Once you get home, you can
browse the Internet for the information regarding the car of your
choice and how much it cost. Be sure to check the option prices,
ratings for safety and other things that the dealer has not informed
you.

2. Ask yourself how much you are willing to spend for that car before
visiting a dealership. Consult first with your credit union personnel
or personal banker before visiting the dealership. Tendency is the
dealership might convince you buy a more expensive car.

3. Check the car before deciding on it. Be sure to have a checklist on
the important things that you have to look at in used cars. Check the
engine, the car body, and verify if there are transmission problems.
Never buy a used car if you have not test driven it for yourself.

Get the car thoroughly checked out by a qualified Mechanic before
parting with any money. If there are issues with the car, have the
Mechanic detail them with cost to correct, then, (if you still want the
car) , go back to the Seller and negoitate downward on the price to at
least partially cover some of these repair issues, or, allow the Seller
the chance to get them corrected himself .. then take the car back in to
make sure the job was done correctly. And if the used car is a
Corvette, preferably go to a Corvette Mechanic who is familiar with the
little idiosynrisys particular to that year Corvette. Given todays
economy/climate, it is definetly a Buyers Market and there are a surplus
of cars, homes, etc.. out there.
