Important Information about Used Car Dealers

I've been looking for a new or used car for months now but am a little hesitant to really shop around knowing how a large car purchase good go terribly wrong. Buying a car can be frustrating. We've all heard the horror stories about paying way too much for a car you don't like because you don't have the credit necessary or a big enough down payment. So where does one turn in times like these? Finding a good used car salesman can help ease the pain of car buying. They are hard to come by but with the proper tools you can find a used car dealer that can get you in to a car you like and afford.

There are a few ways to make sure your aren't going to get "ripped-off" when purchasing a used car. You might think that you need to ask your used car salesman if the "Invoice Price" and "MSRP" apply to used cars, or if you should try to calculate an offer for used cars based on invoice price. The answer is: No, the Invoice Price and MSRP only apply to new cars, not used cars. For used cars, there is no invoice price because car dealers acquire used cars from people at a "trade in" price, then mark it up on the lot. The best way to determine used car prices is to check how your car has sold on eBay the last few weeks, and bring printouts with you to the dealer to support your offers on used cars.

Used car salesman deserve the benefit of the doubt but everyone buying a used car should get a Experian AutoCheck Vehicle History Report, they get data from a substantial number of dealers and aftermarket repair shops, nearly 5,000 sources. A mechanic can put the car on a lift and instantly spot previous crash damage, hidden frame damage, corrosion, and fluid leaks. But your mechanic can't tell you if your car title has been branded as a flooded vehicle, salvaged, junked, rebuilt, stolen, or passed through a salvage auction. Most mechanics overlook airbags. You can only tell how many owners that car had or where it's been with a history report, not just by looking at the car. This is not the time to 2nd guess. Unfortunately there are no clear laws if you sign an "As Is" paper. Any used car can have a bad past, Mercedes, Lexus, Honda or Toyota. Some municipalities don't supply accident report info, that's why you still need to have a mechanic look at it. If the police never made a report, it won't show up in the AutoCheck Vehicle History Report.

Knowing some of these handy little tips and tricks I am certain that I will be able to find the used car I'm looking for and won't get hassled by a used-car salesman in the process.
