How To ... Buy A Used Car

Consider buying a car like a poker game, the seller is his opponent, who can bluff, you can not, but as you would in a poker room in a casino, you should try reading the vendor and that in a poker room in a casino.

Remember to always keep your eyes and ears open when talking with someone on a used car. Be sure to ask lots of questions.

In the casino compromise the money, hoping for big returns, but when you buy a car you just want to get their money's worth, you want a car that is reliable and credible. You do not want the car will not start on cold days, or until they stop running half an hour.

Remember to check the landing gear under the hood and rust. For a car is rust like cancer. When rust is found, it is spreading unless it is cut and replaced. During the car and the engine compartment, you will find a little rust, it is natural, but you will only surface rust. This means that if you take a wire brush to the surface rusted you want to brush the rust and get to clean metal.

Then be sure to check the car's body, waves and bubbles in the paint, which would indicate that the car had an accident or a little rust has been poorly repaired. It is not uncommon for someone to sell a car to get rust stains sanded and painted to give the car a fresh appearance, but what happens after a month or two the paint starts to bubble and the metal starts to rust again.

Then look at the engine and mechanical parts under the hood of the car. The engine should be relatively clean engine oil. If you see significant accumulations of hydrocarbons in an area then it is likely that a head gasket should be replaced due to leakage of oil.

All electrical and rubber parts should be checked for cracks. The cracks in the rubber parts means that the rubber is old and dry, and probably should be replaced later.

Be sure to ask the owner if he has all the recipes for all the work was performed on the vehicle.

Another important tip is to make sure to take the car for a good test. Do not be afraid to drive the car a bit difficult with the owner in the car with you, it most likely means if they do then maybe there is something with the car, trying to hide and should pass another vehicle.

Many people will tell you that buying a used car is a gamble, but if you take a good hard look at every car and not an impulsive purchase, you can delete games and the pledge of a car jackpot.
