Better Purchase An Used Car

May 28, 2009

My car already is 12 years old. The maintenance and services fee for the car has increased so much since last two years. I started to keep the entire maintenance and services bill since two years ago. We spent about $1,000 for repaired and maintenance in the year of 2008, and $1,500 for last year.

Due to high maintenance fees, John suggest to buy a second hand car. According to him, the maintenance and repair cost are too high, by topping up a small amount already can get a not bad used car, in the market now. I have done some calculations after heard his suggestion. Seem like buying a second hand car is a good idea to save cost. I think our old car’s engine will be overhaul sooner, so I think better save the few thousand dollars to invest into a second hand car now.

However, there are so many used cars in the market, how do I know which is suitable? I am kind of worry bought a bad performance used car. That is not saving money but would be spending more in repair fees.

John has a friend who working in second hand Car Company. I wonder could he give us suggestion type of used car to buy. Previously, he did share some of the purchase second hand car tips with us, but I have forgotten all of them. That time never think of purchase used car, now seem we could not escape to buy a second hand car if really want to save the repair cost.

I think find a reliable and nice used car company to introduce a good performance used car could save our time for searching suitable car. At least we do not have to worry we would bought a bad performance used car. They should provide warranty if we buy from them. I heard my friend says that we could bargain for better price with the agent. They would accept the price if above their bottom line.
