The Bottom Line Remember a used car lot is there one reason:
To get the maximum possible amount of money out of ALL the cars they sell.
If you are going to buy a USED car here are some tips: First of all NEVER buy a used car from a lot unless you personally know the owner or manager. There are 2 ways dealers generally get thier cars: 1: Take it on trade: The "good" cars most dealers will sell on thier own lot. This includes "off-lease" "rental cars" etc. Many times you can buy a NEW car for the same payment you make on these because intrest rates are higher, you have to pay extra for a warranty if you want one, and the months financed is less. Most of the real gems are bought up by employess of the lot or their friends before you even get to see them. 2: Buy from auctions: These are generally the "bottom of the barrel" cars that the "good" dealers don't want. Many have substantial problems that have been "covered up" and come with no warranty. Generally these cars are under $5000.00 on the lot and similair makes/models can be bought for much less in the classified ads. If you really want a shot at the "gem" of a used car you will have to buy from an induvidual One more thing: All dealers try to make you think you got a super deal wether you did or not, so just because you think you got a deal doesn't mean you did. Check the classifieds and see what you really COULD have got that car for :)  |
