Lemons Wanted- Used Car Buying Tips Have you
been driving the same car for years? Do you know if the car is going
to start when you need to go to work? If you have been driving the
same vehicle for some time now, and you don’t know if your car is
going to start every time you go out to the driveway, it is a good
time to think about getting a new used car. How will
you find a great used car that you can depend on yet still afford?
Start by looking through the local papers, the yellow pages,
and by taking a little ride around the local towns near you to find
where local dealers are and what they currently are offering. One place
that you can find a great used car is at the bigger specialized
dealers. You know the
types that sell just Ford, or Dodge, or a Chevy – they accept
trade ins on all of their new cars, and often the trade ins offered
on these lots are newer and well kept machines that have been
maintained. Often you can even find a quality used car with low miles
that still has a partial factory warranty on it.
Combine the factory warranty with the lemon laws that protect
you when buying a used car you are off to a great start. Before you
buy any car, check out the local chapter of the Better Business
Bureau to check up on the car dealers you are considering buying
from to make sure that they treat their consumers with respect when
selling them used vehicles. Another
great source of information your should consider looking up is
Kelly’s Blue Book where they list all the going prices for cars,
trucks and other vehicles. When
you are buying a used car, you know if you are paying a good price
when you use this resource. They
have been in the car pricing business for years, and their book is
used by millions of buyers every year.
If you are looking to trade in your car for another used car,
you will be able to look up the fair book price of your car, but you
should expect to get a little less when you trade it in.
Who ever is accepting your trade in, will only be able to
sell it for the fair book price, so they will have to give you less
than what is listed so don’t get offended by this practice this is
normal. When you
are in the market to buy a used car you should be aware that if you
find a car with low miles, with a warranty and at a great price, you
would need to act fast. Many times when you find a great deal on a
used vehicle the car usually will sell fast from the lot, so if you
are really interested to buy that vehicle you will need to jump on
it fast. Use your knowledge of cars, the prices of used cars, what type of car you like, how much you can afford and which dealers have a great service reputation to find the best deal on a used car that you can trust!
