3 Helpful Tips for Buying Your Next Used Car  

Purchasing a brand new car is an incredible feeling, but for many people a new car may be outside of                                       their financial reach, or perhaps they just enjoy a bargain. This is why many people choose to buy a                                     used car instead. However, buying a used car can be problematic for the buyer and there many pitfalls                                   to avoid. Luckily, there a few tried and tested tips that will help to ensure that the buyer gets the car                                         they need without the minimum of hassle.   

  

  1. Choosing Between a Private Sale or Used Car Dealers  Many people, choose to buy a used car from a friend or family member, which can be a great idea if                                         they have looked after their car. However, if the car starts to fail or there is a major problem this can                                         become a source of friction within the relationship between them. Some people use classified ads to                               purchase their next car from a private seller. This can be a risky tactic, but it is a tempting option for                                         many, as the prices are usually a little lower than those offered by used car dealers on comparable                                   models. On the other hand, when searching for used cars for sale, Perth drivers may want to consider                                   buying from a dealer. Although the dealership may be a little more expensive, there may be more                                 buyer protection in place. Other benefits could also include extra financing options, a limited                           warranty, preferable insurance rates and other extras.  2. Don’t Ever be Afraid to Ask Questions  Many people can feel intimidated when going into a used car dealership, but this fear is unfounded,                                 and it can cost the buyer money. Go into the dealerships with a clear idea of the budget and the kind                                         of car vehicle required. Always ask about unadvertised models as there may be cheaper vehicles                             available “around the back”. Always ask for a test drive and place close attention for any unusual                                 noises or strange handling issues. Ask about the specific history of the car and look at any servicing                                   history or other documentation that is available. Many people are intimidated about asking questions,                           but a good dealer will welcome them as it shows that the potential buyer is serious.    3. Do Plenty of Research Before Buying  When looking for used cars for sale, Perth drivers will find that there is a huge variety of vehicles                                     available. Having a clear idea of the type of car required is crucial to buying the right vehicle. Take into                                       account insurance and annual maintenance cost before buying a used car. In some cases, a Honda                               used car dealer may offer deals on servicing or even have some kind of warranty available. These                                 types of offers should be taken into account as they add a lot of value to the vehicle.  If they are looking for used cars for sale, Perth based drivers should contact us.
