The Planning Before you head out to the used car dealer or market, make the preparations to aid yourself in the purchase; especially if you are on a busy schedule and cannot afford to spend hours looking at every car your salesman suggests. When shopping for a used car, the two most common questions a salesman might ask are, o What sort of car are you looking for? Any particular make or model,
and/or year in mind? By preparing your answers, you are giving much help to the salesman by letting him know what cars are out of the question, while narrowing down the choices for you to view. When doing research about your next purchase, always keep in mind the 2 P’s: Practicality and Price. Obviously a two-seater sports car is never going to fit a family of 6. It is just as unlikely that a college student can afford a luxury car by himself. Start by browsing online buying sites and the classifieds section of your newspaper to make a comparison of the cars. What are the cars that catch your eye? Do they also adhere to the 2 P’s rule? This research would also give you a rough estimate of the prices of various car models in your area. Reading through forums with discussions on cars might be a good idea
too. You will be able to find out by doing a survey of actual owners’
experiences on their overall review on the car, like whether a car needs
little maintenance, or many trips to the mechanic. |
