There are several benefits to buying a used auto-mobile, the most obvious being price. However, you still need to be careful if you want to be sure to get a bargain.

What the new car dealerships won't tell you is that as soon as you drive a brand new car off the lot, the value goes down as it is now considered a used vehicle. In the first two years of owning a brand new car, its value will decrease by around 30%.

That's not to say you won't get a good deal from a new car dealership, but for an even better deal, head to a used vehicle lot or search your nearby classifieds for a well maintained car or truck that won't blow your bank balance.

If you're buying from a used vehicle dealer, the likelihood is that every vehicle within the lot has been checked, repaired and maintained so that it is in top working order. If you know what you need to spend, stick to this price and ask the dealer to find for you the best fit. Your dealership could provide you a guarantee or a time period wherein, in the event that vehicle breaks down within a certain time after purchase, you're able to take it back for repairs or trade. Remember, when buying a used vehicle privately, this won't be an option.

Buying used car from a reputable dealer usually means that you're able to guarantee a car' s reliability but try if you can to ask a mechanic friend to join you when going for a private sale.

Looking for a used car with only one previous and careful owner makes sense keep an eye on mileage and discuss previous accidents. Look at wheels to make sure they don't need to be replaced in the very near future and ask for a test drive so that you can listen out for any mechanical problems.

Ensure you ask about the vehicle s latest MOT. As a general rule do not buy a vehicle with less than 3 months to run on its MOT.
