Title: Buying a Used Car

Buying a Used Car

  • Quite often, people do not have enough budget to
    buy the car they desire to drive in such a
    situation, it is convenient for people to opt for
    pre-owned cars (better known as second-hand
    cars).
  • However, there are several aspects to be taken
    care of before going ahead and purchasing a used
    car. Some of these aspects are listed below.

Advantages of buying a pre-owned car
  • Price - Comparing apples to apples, a used car is
    going to be less expensive. The relative
    advantage of the used-car price can also allow a
    buyer to step up to a higher model.
  • Insurance Rates - Like financing, insurance rates
    will be affected by the age of a car, but in this
    case the used vehicle tends to be less expensive.
  • Choice - Although you obviously cant build a
    used car to order, maybe you want a model, option
    package, or even wheel design thats no longer
    made.

Disadvantages of buying a pre-owned car
  • Buying a problem - While it is not unheard of for
    new cars to have a large number of breakdowns or
    problems, you can be assured that the dealer or
    manufacturer will make every effort to make you
    happy.
  • No warranty - A used car will not come with a
    warranty, unless your dealer is the authorised
    one by the manufacturer.
  • Choice - While their selection of used cars is
    huge you may not get the exact car you are
    looking for. When buying new, you can choose all
    the options and colours.

Tips for buying a pre-owned car
  • You don't have to be a mechanic to find the
    obvious damage done to the car. Make sure that
    you check the car inside out if you dont have
    the expertise, get someone along who is in the
    know.
  • Start with the exterior and check it for possible
    problems like ripped lines, gaps in the car
    panels, rusty spots, corrosion, accidents and
    trailer hitches.
  • Check the manual transmission to make sure that
    the car has no leaks, noises, trouble while
    changing gears, while moving the clutch etc.
