 
Used Cars Introduction
Your search for a usable used car ends when you land up at the right
place, at the doors of the right people, with the right amount of money.
A few tips to smoothen your journey…
The purchase of a car depends upon the number of family members at
home, reasons for buying and what you expect from that car.
The second hand car mart
It can be searched for at three locations:
-- From dealers who sell both new and used cars.
-- From a dealer who deals in only used cars.
-- From individual owners.
New Car Dealers
With the market of new cars seeing a steady climbdown, these dealers
increasingly try to make up their profits through this segment.
The advantages on offer are that they are
thoroughly inspected, give a larger choice, and also service and
maintenance warranties. You can insist on confirmation to tax and
pollution laws. The condition of these cars is generally better than
those offered by others.
Second Hand Car Dealers
The condition of the cars offered by these dealers is a shade worse
because they operate on low profit margins. Most of these cars are in
bad shape, with shady workmanship to gloss over the defects. Never buy
these until your mechanic vouches for their veracity.
Individual Owners:
Classified advertisements or our Free Classifieds section is as good a
place to look out for individual sellers as any. The price they ask for
will generally tend to be lower than that demanded by dealers. Double
check for the ownership of the car. Have the car checked by your
mechanic because these cars are sold on ‘as is where is basis’.
You have a chance of netting a cool bargain if you persist long enough
on this route.
