Buy Used Car Tips: Learn for Other People’s Experiences

Buy Used Car Tips: Learn for Other People’s Experiences

Buying a used car isn’t as nearly as fun as buying a new car, we all know that. I’ve been through three buy used car experiences up to now. The goods news is that I learned how to negotiate better and even a little bit about cars. The bad news is… I wish I had known the buy used car tips I know now before.

The Real Deal

Ok so, the real deal with buying used cars is to make sure you aren’t getting scammed or that your really paying for what the seller says it’s worth. Many times have I heard people say that all the car lights work and then when I want to check it out… more than one light isn’t working. Here I’m going to share with you some of the tips I’ve learned from my experiences, but don’t limit yourself to these. Ask people you know for more tips because you never know who has had to deal with buying a used car.

- Make sure all the lights work
- Get the engine checked out by a trusted mechanic
- Look for oil leaks
- Turn off the radio and lower the windows while test driving it for peculiar noises
- If you can, drive uphill with the air condition turned on to the max
- Push the accelerator fast and hard to see if the car responds well
- Make a hard break to test the breaks
- Check for torn-up seats
- Test the speakers and radio, as well as antenna reception (I once bought a used car that had the antenna but didn’t have a cable to connect to the radio – of course I found out about that later!)
- Check the trunk and see if all the tools are there, as well as the spare tire

Those are just some of buy used car tips. I’m pretty sure you can find a lot more, but I think these are must-haves on your check list when buying a used car. You should be very careful because you don’t want to issue a used car loan and then the car turned out to be a piece of junk, right?

  1. Used cars are being increasingly opted for these days, because they are highly affordable in today’s world. But you should be very careful in selecting the dealer or the agent from whom you buy the car. There are a lot of genuine dealers but the number of fraudulent ones is also quite high. It is always better for you to take a car expert with you when you go for selecting your used car because the dealer does not usually get a chance to deceive you in front of a person who has good knowledge about used cars and the used car market.

  4. Hey, these are really excellent and useful tips! Wish I have seen your post sooner as I have just bought two used cars (Orange County based) for me and my wife. I was pleasantly surprised that my experienced in buying a used car turned out great. I'm really glad that I followed my friend's recommendation to check the cars from a trustworthy used car dealership (Orange County auto shop) as they have the best salesperson and good quality used cars.

    Thanks for sharing your tips!

  8. Not everyone has the knowledge or ability to be able to do all those checks before the purchase. It’s a good thing there are affordable inspection services that’ll help you do so before you buy the car. By this, you get to know the full condition of the car.

    1. That's true! It helps buyers avoid being fooled because there are some sellers that sometimes would let you test drive the car today and replace the engine of lower quality overnight or one with a lot more mileage.
