Where
to shop for a used car?
New-Car Dealership
Buying from the used-car operation at a new-car dealership
is usually a safe bet. They generally guarantee the cars
they sell, they're well equipped to do repairs if necessary
and they have to build a good reputation if they want
to stay in business. Independent used-car dealers, on
the other hand, may not be as solid. They sell older,
higher-mileage vehicles, and the "Buy Here, Pay Here"
types also charge higher interest on loans. They're also
less likely to provide a warranty unless you're willing
to pay extra for it.
Private
Sellers
Private sellers are usually regarded as honest
and not out to make a quick buck. Most are like
that. However, some individuals are selling
cars they know have problems, but they might
not volunteer the information out of fear it
will scotch a deal. Even if they're honest,
what happens if the starter motor fails on you
a week after buying it from a private seller?
Will they replace it? Pay for towing? Not likely.
Private sellers generally don't give guarantees,
so even the most honest aren't apt to fix something
that breaks after you drive away. .
The
Netstores
The Auto sites like
indiacar have voluminous listings from corporates or company's
who want to sell their cars all this is available at the
convenience of a mouse click.
