USED CARS
(The following advice is from findcars.com.au)
When you come to buy a used car there are several important decisions you will have to make. These decisions will include:
The best age of car to buy
You need to be aware of certain "age points" in the life of cars. It will help you decide what age car is right for you.
Buying privately, from a dealer or at auction
Consider the benefits and disadvantages. Where should you buy your next used car? Dealers claim it's "unsafe" to buy from private sellers, but buying privately can save you lots of money if you take some basic precautions.
How to value a used car
Be confident in your valuations. Learn the simple way of how to properly read valuations, and find out what typical dealer margins are.
Speedo manipulation
Some say "whizzing the speedo" is a thing of the past. Don't we wish that was the case? Find out what to look for.
Problem cars
Learn what types of problems sellers try to mask.
Negotiating
Buying from a dealer requires a different strategy to private purchases. Become confident and don't pay too much!
Deposits
Is it worth paying a deposit? What are the obligations of the seller in regards to the deposit?
Professional inspection
Find out why the most popular and heavily advertised inspection services are almost useless, and how you must organise the inspection. Do not buy a used car without a proper inspection.
Stolen or encumbered cars
Learn how to avoid buying a stolen or an encumbered car (i.e. has money owing on it). If you think a phone call to the register will protect you, you're wrong. There is only one right way of protecting yourself when buying privately.
Warranties
After market extended warranties are available, regardless of how the car was bought - from a dealer or a private seller. Find out what to look for in extended warranties. It is a fairly complex area that can easily see you pay hundreds of dollars for no real benefit. The right warranty is a wise investment.
