How to buy a used car

Found this rather basic but informative video on how to buy a used car. The message would seem to be,"Be Prepared", and do your homework.

Used or secondhand cars are cheaper than new but you need to do the work if you want to make it a good buy. Remember someone else has moved on to a newer or different car, for whatever reason. So set your budget, think about the type and specification of vehicle you are interested in. Do your research and get an idea of the market for that car. Find a couple to go and see. Are you going to buy private or use a dealer?
Take your time. Once you find a possible car which fits, please get it inspected if you are buying privately.

A dealer will normally have, vehicle history and either give a warranty or offer a vehicle inspection report.
It would be a good idea to pull the Car fax report or get vehicle history report about the vehicle. Get the title of the vehicle if your are buying private and do the registration documentation for your state.

Now haggle on the price and try and strike a good deal. Only then hand over your hard earned cash.
