BUYING USED AUTOMOBILES
You can save money by buying a used car. But,
when in the market for used car you have to be very
careful. You have to make sure that the car you are going
to buy is worth every penny you are investing. You don't
want to buy a car that has been in accident or has
experienced any sort of serious damage.
Featured are some suggestion that will help you purchase
the right
used car.
Research the history of any car you are interested in!
AUTOCHECK
offers vehicle history reports. A AUTOCHECK report will
determine if a car has experienced any sort of damage or
has been in any accidents. It
is very important that you get a copy of a car's history
before you even consider purchasing.
If a AUTOCHECK report
comes back with negative information, move one and look
for another car to buy.
Have your mechanic check your car out!
A mechanic should be able to instantly see any signs
of accident, flood or engine damage. Just because a car's
accident history is clean, that does not mean the car is
in good shape and/or running condition.
You also need to consider that not all auto crashes are
not reported to the police, and therefore will not be
reported in a AUTOCHECK
report.
Run a title check!
Did you know that many odometers, including digital ones,
can be rolled back! So, when buying a used car, you want
to make sure that the mileage being reported by the
odometer is accurate. A title check will accomplish this.
How? When a car is inspected or changes hands at a
dealership via a trade-in or lease, the mileage is
recorded. So, if the odometer of the auto your are buying
has lower mileage than the title check, you know that the
odometer has been rolled back. Under no circumstance do
you want to buy a car that has had its mileage rolled
back! You can also run a title check with AUTOCHECK.
Buy a certified pre-owned car!
If you are buying a car from a dealership, you should
look into purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle. Why?
Certified means that the automobile has passed a series of
manufacturer-standard tests. If a car does not pass these
tests, it is not marketed for re-sale. Also, certified
pre-owned vehicles come with a warranty of certification
that protect you if something mechanical happens to your
car within a certain time, usually 1 or two years, from when the purchase was
made.
