Buying a used car is not easy. You can never be positive that the vehicle you purchase will not turn out to be a lemon, especially since the vehicle has a long history that you can’t tell just by looking at it. There are several steps you can take to make the used car buying process as easy as possible, and hopefully reduce the chances of making a purchase you later regret.
1. Figure out how much you can afford
2. Choose the right vehicle for you
3. Research how much the vehicle is worth
4. Research the vehicle. Search online for any recalls or problems other owners have had with that model.
5. Decide where to shop for the car. Do you want to buy from a private owner, or a dealership?
6. Contact and communicate with the seller. Let them know you are interested.
7. Get a full history report on the exact vehicle you are looking to purchase
8. Conduct a thorough walk-around to inspect the vehicle. Then, take the car for a test drive.
9. Negotiate with the dealer. You will almost always be able to talk the dealer down from his original price.
10. Close the deal
