What to look out for when buying used cars?
My budget is only limited for used cars, and I have no idea what to check with them when buying (like under the hood) so that I won’t get "cheated" after. I don’t want to be buying the car only to find something broken after a few drives.
Thank you.
That’s why you let the professionals do it. Never purchase a used car without having a certified mechanic do a complete mechanical inspection on the vehicle.
As a consumer you must run a VIN check on the car (Carfax, Autocheck) and you can visually inspect the car for cleanliness, rust, dents, broken parts or pieces. You can look for signs of wrecks or repairs, check the tires inspect under the hood for worn belts, hoses and dirty fluids. You must also take the car for a good long test drive to check it out on the road. Include some highway miles during this test drive and turn OFF the radio so you can hear the car. Make sure you check all of the electrical switches and interior components to make sure they finction as they should. Look under the car for leaks. Your focus needs to be on determining how well the previous owner cared for the car. If they took really good care of the car that’s a good sign. If the car looks abused or neglected you need to take that into consideration but you have to look well past the new wax job, the tire shine and the recently shampooed carpets.
The most important item is the mechanical condition of the car and the only way to do that is to have a professionally trained technician perform a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

bad Credit Private Party Auto Loans?
Does anyone know where I can get a loan for a private party auto sale if I have bad credit? I make a few mistakes a few years ago and now I can’t get a loan to get a new car and mine is broke down and I can’t fix it.
It can really save you some money to just get an auto loan quote online to verify what the going rates are. You might be totally suprised. Also if your credit is not good, a lot of them are more willing to work with you.
What I usually tell folks is that an internet quote at http://autoloan.saverightnow.info is worthwhile.

Why are used car lots typically so much cheaper than pre-owned cars sold on new car lots?
I have been shopping for cars in the mid-20K’s at used car lots, and it seems the same cars (make, model, features and mileage) are at least 20% more at new car dealerships. What gives?

OH,If you check an owner that has one for sale,they will be cheaper than a used car lot.
Do I need a used car dealer license to sell salvage title cars on-line?
I would like to buy salvage title cars and resell them to public. Do I need a used car dealer license to sell salvage title cars on-line? Can I have an office at home instead of renting an expensive office if I buy and sell one or two cars at a time and keep cars in my home garage?
Thank you very much in advance.

If you’re doing it as a business, or making a decent amount of profit at it, or selling a certain number of cars in a year, yes, you need a dealer license.
You’re acting like a dealer, making money like a dealer, why would you not need a license like a dealer?
I would like help finding out if these "bad credit auto loan"places are for real or just a way to steal person?
Are they trying to steal personal info or are they really going to help me get a car?
Hello,
I live in the US and i really have never seen goodness shown to me this
much in my life as i am a struggling mum with three kids and i have been going
through really rough times in my life and my name is Helen
Peters and in all this hard times, a worse incident occured in my life as i
lost my job which was my only means of survival and things became really bad as
i had bills to pay and my last son suffered a knee injury incurred when he fell
from a tree house and the doctors informed me that he needed a surgical
operation for his knee so he could walk again and at this point, life was
useless to me as i have no family and no one to run to and each night, i will
sit down and cry till the break of dun until one day, i read an advert on yahoo
answers of man that stated that he could help people in my shoes with loans and
in my desperate situation, i had no choice but i had to try and so shocking and
suprising, it was like an impossibility becoming a reality, i got a loan of
$75,000 USD even with my bad credit within 48 hours and my sons surgery was done
and thank GOD it was successful and now, i am okay and living in comfort with my
kids and i said to my self, i have never ever seen this kind of wonder in life
and i decided i will tell it to the whole wild world and i need every one to
thank GOD for Mr Patrick Harvey, the man GOD used to rescue me and my family
even when all hope had been lost and gone and i will say to every one, no matter
how dark and sinful the world is today, there are still GOD fearing and reliable
people on earth and if you are in my former situation or require a loan
legitimately, i will advice you contact this loan lender and you can reach him
via patrickharvey12@yahoo.com and i want you all to pray for this man for me.
Where can I get a bad credit auto loan without phonecalls from dealerships?
I’m interested in a private loan company that specializes in bad credit auto loans. I do not want the type of loan where they refer you to 20 different dealers. I already have a vehicle in mind through a private seller. How can I just get a bad credit auto loan that has no referrals for dealers???
About the only thing that comes to mind in your case is called
owner financing.
If you are buying from a private person… ask them to "finance" the deal and take monthly payments… It is worth a try, isn’t it?
