Used Car Reviews - Some Guidelines
Used Car Review
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.
4. Avoid drinking coffee before you visit or when you are at the
dealership. Coffee will make you too uneasy and impatient to
look into details. It is recommended that you drink plenty of
water instead to make you go to the restroom. This will break
the tension and remove you from a situation that that the
salesperson is already intimidating you.
5. Always follow your plan. Make sure that you have already
decided what a fair deal for you is before you go to the
dealership. If you do not have a target price, the sales
representative will only declare a higher price. It is
recommended that you already have an expected price of the car
before going to the dealership.
6. Never make a deal if you are confused or disappointed with
the car. Always think clearly since you are spending a large
amount of money. There is nothing wrong with walking out if you
feel that the price they gave you is not a fair deal.
7. Enjoy and have fun. Do not be stressed just for buying a car.
As long as you are informed, patient and firm, then there is
nothing to worry about. You will do fine and enjoy when buying
your used car.
