Extended Warranty buying information

One of the most important things you need to do before buying your used car is to look into independent extended warranty companies. The article I have included in this post gives some great info into extended warranties. http://www.isnare.com/?aid=63768&ca=Automotive Make sure though that the car you are going to purchase already doesn't have an active extended warranty.

USED CAR BUYING TIPS

HERE IS A SUGESTION THAT MAY HELP YOU WITH RECEIVING THE PRICE ON A USED VEHICLE YOU ARE WANTING TO PURCHASE. NEVER BUY THE SAME DAY YOU ARE LOOKING AT A CAR AND NEGOTIATING THE PRICING WITH THE DEALER. IF YOU COME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND NEGOTIATE AGAIN SOME MORE...IT DEFLATES THE SALESMAN EGO THINKING HE HAS YOU WHERE HE WANTS YOU. THE FIRST PRICE THEY COME BACK WITH IS TO TEST YOU TO SEE WHAT YOU WILL BUY FOR! PATIENCE IS THE KEY TO BUYING A CAR! CHRIS

USED CAR BUYING TIPS!

Watch out for this scam that has happened to many people since Hurricane Katrina! Thousands of flood damaged cars have been shipped all over the United States from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Cars damaged in disasters will be salvaged, rebuilt and sold at car auctions all over the United States. Don't fall prey to this misfortune! Here are some things to look out for when you are looking to buy your next used car... USE THE SNIFF TEST...be leery if a car has a heavy air freshener smell. This could mean the seller is trying to cover up a musty or mildewy smell. CHECK THESE AREAS...under the car, trunk, dashboard, glove compartment and seats. Check for signs of water damage such as silt, mud or rust. INSPECT THE UPHOLSTERY...color changes between the ceiling and floor upholstery may be a sign that standing waterwas in the car. A used car with new upholstery may indicate a seller may have removed flood-damaged upholstery. HONK THAT HORN!!...turn the ignition on and make sure all accessories and warning lights and gauges come on quickly. Test the lights, windshield wipers, radio, horn, heat and air conditioning several times to make sure they all work. Water damage can cause a car's electrical system to short out. Don't fall prey to someone elses misfortune and take the time to do your homework! - CHRISTY RICHARDS

Hey! I work in the car industry and have for over 10 years. At one time I owned my own used car dealership. I am so amazed at how little research people do before they make a major purchase. Most people, including me, will make a purchase for a used car based on pure emotion!! I will fall in love with a type of car, color or just the extras it may provide. I am hoping to provide some very informative information for people who are looking to make a great deal on a used car purchase and some helpful pointers on what to look for in not getting screwed by a dealer. I would love to hear questions from people that I may be able to put together some very helpful answers in buying you next used vehicle! Thanks, Chris
