Used Car Myths

• Not everyone is privileged enough to buy a new
  car. Sometimes we, especially those of us who
  dont have many financial options, have to face
  the reality and go for old used cars. There are a
  lot of myths that surround used cars which
  require breaking down.

If My Name Is In The Logbook, Im The Rightful
Owner

• The person who has their name in the registered
  owner logbook, isnt necessarily the legal owner
  of the car. If a car is still in finance, its
  former owner can still claim it as his own.

A New Car Costs 20,000, But Its Advertised As
Only 10,000 Used. Must Be A Good Bargain

• Just because youre getting an apparently good
  bargain while buying a used car, it doesnt mean
  the bargain is really that good. Theres always a
  catch, but fortunately, there is always a way to
  figure out those catches.

All Used Cars Are The Same, Arent They?

• Not all used cars are the same. A used Mazda is
  more likely to last longer than a used Audi.
  Visit a good website which ranks cars according
  to their longevity.

I Got A Good Deal From A Dealer Who Promised To
Meet Me In A Motel. Maybe I Should Take It

• Never take anything at a face value, especially
  when it comes to buying used cars. Do your
  research about the car you want to buy, then
  learn more about your local dealers. Here in the
  US, theres a used car dealer in almost every
  corner.

Receipts Dont Really Matter, As Long As The Car
Is Serviced

• A rule of the thumb, while buying used cars, is,
  if something cant be proved, its not true. You
  can check the car for the new paint and fixed
  stereo, but if you dont know about oil filters
  and fuel injections, you might be dooming
  yourself in the long run.
