TIPS ON CHOOSING A USED CAR

 

-.First, it is necessary to establish a budget, which could give a clearer picture of the finance available cash on hand or getting a car loan. The interest rate charged by most finance institutions on car loans is about 3.5 per cent, on an average.

- Once a budget is set, it is time to choose a model that would be available in that price range. Those with a limited budget might opt for Japanese vehicles rather than European ones.

- Shop around at different places for good deals. Visiting reliable dealers is a must. Do some research on the dealers, or ask friends, relatives or colleagues about their experience with the dealers. This may provide a clearer picture about the dealer and the cars he or she sells.

- Pick dealers that have good cars at reasonable prices. Not all customers can tell the differences between good and bad cars. Therefore, it's essential to have professionals to do. Most car experts or mechanics can tell if the cars have been in an accident or had major body work.

- The year the car was manufactured is also important. The younger the car is, the better the condition it will be in. Basically, used cars should not be more than 10 years old. Buying a car that is five years or less, would be a steal, however it depends on the budget available.

- Try to ask for a guarantee or warranty from the dealers, and this should be on paper not a verbal agreement. If the car is in a proper condition, dealers shouldn't have problems in giving a guarantee or warranty to customers.

- Select reliable financial companies for those in need of car loans.
