          Online or in-person: Used car buying options

          These days, those looking to buy a used car have three main options. While some things carry over from option to option, your decision on how to buy a used car depends on what you want out of a car-buying experience.

          • Used car dealership: The most traditional car buying option allows you to see the car in person. Purchasing at a used car dealership does also mean you will need to work with a salesperson onsite. Complete research and come prepared to negotiate pricing and avoid pressure to make a quick decision.
          • Online: Many used car sellers will put their inventory online, which can be helpful if you are looking for a specific model. Check online reviews of the seller and study their policies.
          • Private sellers: These can be found online and in classifieds. As with any one-on-one transaction, ensure the seller has proof of title and ownership.

          No matter which option you decide on, you should always inspect the vehicle to make sure you are getting what was advertised.

           

          5 tips for negotiating price

          Don’t be afraid to negotiate a lower price once you are ready to buy a used car. Get prepare by researching details about the car and the current market. Here are five tips to remember when it comes to negotiating:

          • Buy older models. Used cars that are at least two years past the current model year are typically less expensive yet still in good condition.
          • Acquire a car history report. Ideally, a used car should have a low number of miles and the fewest owners in its lifespan. A car history report can also alert you if the car has been in an accident or damaged in a storm.
          • Know the local market. Search online to find the average price the model is going for in your area.
          • Look at other offers from dealers or private sellers. It would be wise to look at used cars near you to understand all the options available.
          • Your first offer should be lower than you are willing to pay. While lower, still make the offer reasonable, or the seller may disregard you as a serious buyer.
          • Be prepared to walk away. Sellers might lower the price if they think you will walk or find another seller.

          If you are aware of the market for the car you are interested in, and stay realistic, you might be able to achieve a satisfactory price on a used car near you.

           

          3 Things to Check Before Buying a Used Car

          Before you sign the contract to buy a used car, it is important to check over the car to be certain it is in good condition. Although there are lots of parts to check, these three main components offer crucial insight.

          • The frame: Observe the entire structure of the car. Are the wheels evenly touching the ground? Is there any sagging? Are there any dents, rust spots, or chipped paint? Make sure the bumpers are sturdy, and check the tires for signs of wear.
          • The interior: Pull back the carpet in the trunk and search for any signs of water damage. Search the seats for any rips or tears in the fabric or leather. Turn on the car to make sure the lights, A/C, and radio work. Look at the dashboard and watch for any warning signs while the car is running.
          • Under the hood: If the seller won’t let you look under the hood consider that a big warning sign and walk away. For anyone who is not a mechanic, the engine might seem confusing, but the warning signs are easy to spot. Check that the hoses and belts aren’t cracked, loose around the connections, or hard. Remove the dipstick to make sure there is no water or build-up. Many batteries now have an indicator light to show its charge.

          While these checks can help you spot any hidden damage, you should always take the car for a test drive to truly be certain you are satisfied with the car.
