After you've decided if
you are in the
market for a new or used car, you
can begin to target
specific types of
cars and car models and decide
whether you'd
like to buy from a private
seller, online, or a dealer. Popular Car /
Truck types and sizes include: Compact
每 Convertible - Full
Size - Mid-Size 每
Premium 每 SUV - Compact - Pick-up 每
Economy
每 Luxury 每 MiniVan 每
Standard. As far as choosing a car
size, you have many choices. You can
think ahead about which size
is right for
you. Of courseㄛif you have large family,
you'll
need at least a mid-size car. On
the other hand, if you're single and
are
looking for something fun to drive like
the Mazda Miata, a
two seater sports
car or convertible car may be just right
for
you. Even if you are not sure if you'd
like to buy from a dealer or a
private
seller, it makes sense to do research on
the car*s
value before you purchase it.
You should start by looking up the value
of the car. You can use resources like
the Kelly Blue-Book or
NADA car
valuation resource for instant car
valuations. In
addition, you should
definitely scan classifieds like Craigslist,
Auto-Trader or your local newspaper to
find out what the car is
going for in
your
market.

Once you*ve done your research and
you know which cars
you*re interested
in, you can begin your search for that
exact
car year and model. It makes
sense to keep a notebook on your
findings. Take time to weigh the pros
and cons of each car you
research.
Take down the most important
information like the
car*s overall
physical condition (rust / paint),
mileage,
number of owners, repair /
accident history. If you*re buying a used
car, you*ll want to see the actual
maintenance records.
Moreover, be
sure you check to see if there are any
bank liens
out there on the vehicle and
ask to see the title for verification that
the person who is trying to sell you the
car is the car*s
owner. So now you*ve
narrowed your search down to 3 cars.
Test
drive each car and find out if the
seller will give a warranty just in
case
something is wrong. Another safe
measure step would be to
have the car
taken in to a local reputable repair shop
or car
service center and have a
certified mechanic who specializes in
that particular car do an end to end
diagnostic on the car
prior to
purchasing it. This step will save you in
the long
run. You*ll get an honest
opinion on the car and you*ll be able to
find out if the car has any major
problems before you buy
it.
