Q: used car____________________?
i am looking to buy a used car i want a little car with less than 140000 miles also with airbags so like a 1995 or mor and i want a little car that gets good gas mileage for around $2000 what is the best website for used cars or the best place to go to find one
A: www.cars.com
www.autotrader.com
At both of these sites you can put in your exact specifications on the year, milage, and price range you want, as well as other things too.
I don’t think I can make those websites clickable links, but you can type them in your browser.
Q: What advantages do used car dealers have when they sell a car as owner?
Why would a used car dealer or anyone that sells multiple cars hide the fact that they have other cars for sale? Most of the ads of cars for sale are too good to be true and I stay away from them but what do they hide by showing they are for sale by owner?
I have used Craig’s List to find a used car and some deals are too good to be true and I hate to see young folks buy these reconditioned cars that CARFAX can’t list because of the laws in 29 of the 50 states not making it mandatory to list wrecked or totaled cars.
A: Because “curbstoners” as they are called want to avoid paying taxes; avoid paying for a license (required if you sell over a certain number a year); avoid laws such as inspecting cars to make sure they are roadworthy; etc.
Most of the unbelievable deals on Craigslist are not from curbstoners but from con-artists. Most of these cars do not exist at all. They just convince unsuspecting buyers to send them cash through Western Union and of course they dissapear.
Q: How do you negotiate with used car sales associates and with individuals selling preowned cars?
I’m going to buy a used car soon. How do you negotiate with a used car sales associate for the best price? And how do you negotiate with an individual that’s selling his/her used car? Thanks.
A: Have an idea what the car is worth first so you know if the selling price is in the ballpark. Don’t fall in love with that particular car; there are thousands and thousands of used cars out there. Get a carfax report if you can and be prepared to walk away immediately if you can’t come to an agreement or if the seller balks about having your mechanic check it out.
Q: What used car dealerships have nice car photography on their sites?
I can’t believe how awful most of the shots are of used cars on dealership sites. I’m curious to see a dealership that actually has some decent photography for used cars — imagery that they have to take themselves rather than relying on the car manufacturer or cooperative advertising stock photography.
A: hey check my dealer out . www.scottautogroup.com my name is Jimmy Roman im in the la county. good luck
Q: What should I know before buying a used car for the first time?
So I am planning to buy a used car but I know nothing about them.
I basically need help.
I am not asking my family because they never have time and aren’t very dependable.
I am learning to drive right now so I want a good reliable car.
I basically need tips.
What are things that I should ask when buying a used car?
What should I look for in a used car?
What are warning signs?
Your answers and tips will be of so much help!
Thank you!
A: To buy a used car, make sure its below 60,000 miles if its an American car such as GM, Ford, or chrysler or 80,000 miles or less if its a Honda, toyota, acura, infiniti etc..
make sure it has no problems with engine and transmission
make sure engine light is not on
make sure the tires are not worn out, otherwise ask for a lesser price as tires can cost up to 700 dollars or more
make sure you get a carfax report but do not fully depend on the report.
ask if it has been in an accident
ask how many owners for the car so far, less is better
ask for all of the maintenance receipts that they have done so far for the car so you can keep them as a reference of what has been done for the car.
its better to buy a car that is less than 8 years old unless you will be using it lightly
Thanks
Q: What is the cheapest, most reliable used car to run into the ground?
I am looking to buy a cheap, reliable used car that I can basically drive for 10 years with as few problems as possible, safety or maintenance-wise.
I don’t care about resale value since I intend to run the car into the ground. In fact, a high resale value might make the car too expensive to purchase as a used car.
What would you reccomend?
A: Pretty much anything japanese, like others are saying the Honda Civic is pretty good – I knew someone who had one and they got it 10 years old and carried on using it for another 10 years. In the end they drove it to a scrap yard, it drove fine but it was begining to rust in places.
Q: How can I sell my used 2005 car without the tile to my friend who is short on cash?
I just bought a newer used car from 2005 at the toyota dealer and I got the loan through them. I bought the car for $12,800 total with taxes and I put $2,000 dollars down when I bought it. So now I owe about $11,000 on it. I would like to sell it to a friend for $12,000 and make back about a $1,000 on it. This way I’ll only end up loosing the $800. He doesn’t have enough money so he would have to take out a loan from somewhere himself, but I think he has good credit.
Anyway, the problem is that I don’t have the title since the car isn’t paid off yet and I owe the dealer money, not a bank, since the loan was taken out through them. What are the steps I have to take to sell this car to my friend who is also short on cash himself, but still has good credit?
Also, how hard would it be to sell this car to a stranger if my friend decides to back out of it since I don’t have the title?
What about selling it to CarMAX? I heard that they take care of all the financial mumbojumbo for you.
A: you cannot sell a car without a clear title., no matter who has good credit or not. If you did anyway, and he doesn’t pay for it, the dealer will still demand from you the money, owed on the car.If he becomes deliquient and you don’t pay up. this will destroy your name and credit and possible go to jail.
Q: What is the best used car to buy in the following situation?
Hello! I had an accident with my previous car and consequently have to buy a “new” one. With a budget limit of $3700, and wanting a passenger car 1998 or newer, what is the best make and model of used car to purchase?
A: Honestly, anything american will always be cheaper… short and long run, maintenance, price, etc. If it has to be foriegn, choose toyota corrolla. $3700 could buy a ford taurus, crown victoria, grand marquis.
Q: What type of Used car would you recommend for Delivery work?
I am thinking about working part-time delivering suitcases for my friends company, but I have a new car that I don’t want to use for that, So I would like know what type used station wagon or van I could buy cheap and that good on gas mileage.
A: Ok, I don’t know exactly, but I would think an older model of the Dodge Caravan would be great for you. You can try googling all this, and look up another car, but this is good or close to it on gas (I think it is 20-25MPG), and it is really spacious. Also, they are quite cheap, even the new models. So you might want to look into this vehicle, but one problem I can think of is the engine. I really don’t know the engine specs, and it might have some trouble. This may be but, it is a very popular vehicle, so it probably isn’t that bad. I hope this helps.
Q: How do you have a mechanic check a used car before you even purchase it?
We’re doing tons of research before we buy this used car, and what keeps popping up is have a mechanic inspect the car before you buy it, and run a background car check. We just ran the background on the car, and it has perfect history.
But how do you get the car off the lot and have an independent mechanic check the car before you even buy it? How do you ask a car salesman if you can do that?
A: just tell them you are very interested in the car but you want your mechanic to check it over first most salesmen have no prob with this and will lend you the dealer plate as long as you have arrangments made with your mechanic if they will not do thisthere is more than likely a reason and walk away and keep looking
Q: What is the best used or new car to buy and how much?
I need another car, I have searched the net but all car websites will have you believe that their cars are the best. I think I will get a used car, since you can get more for your money. And the past I have had two brand new cars, but I think I’ll go used this time around, 2004 and above. I’m thinking about a van or truck this go around. What do you think is better a car or van/truck. What brand is the best family vehicle? Have you had any problems with a certain brand vehicle?
A: man i can’t belive some of these answers. you are wise in not buying new. let someone else take the huge depreciation hit. I personally buy what your looking at 2-3 low mileage cars. You have to deside what you will be using the car for. Then how long you will keep it. The if you want a car or a “hey look at what I drive status symbol” Cars are made to get people from point a to point b. I have bought and sold thousands of cars and trucks over the years. I think last time I looked it was pushing a million vehicles. We are in the business to advise companies on current vehicles and the lowest cost per mile. Why do you want a van or a truck? Have something to haul?
The best basic transportation is a used Ford taurus. they are cheep to buy used, cheep to fix, very safe, and just a little bit less reliable as toyota or honda and cost a ton less. In a mini van the Chrysler line will give you the best bang for your buck. They also cheep to fix, hold their value and can be had for 4-5 G less then honda and toyota. They have nicer features the the Honda and toyota, ride and handle better and crash better then honda or toyota so insurance is less. If you want a full size truck The Ford E150 van or the F150 pick up. The others out their , no matter whos just pretend to be trucks. You have to know trucks like we do to tell we see what should not break do so on the others. all the others. From frames bending to beds bending or tailgates falling off. Deside what you need to use it for before you buy a truck. Gas mileage is horrible on all of them. I happen to like the New ford escape hybrid as all around vehicle. People who have them love them, few minor problems, gas mileage is in the 30’s and its all wheel drive.
Q: What is a reliable used car with decent versatility and gas mileage?
I am looking for a reliable used car with decent mileage and versatile cargo space on a college student budget. I am not to worried about style or speed, my biggest concerns are that I am 6′5″ and would like to fit behind the wheel, and am planning to drive home about 1800 miles with a dorm room full of stuff. What sort of cars should I be looking for?
A: I find Civics & Corollas in general to be overpriced in the used car market. A better bet, imo would be a Hyundai Elantra, which is rated a used car best bet by Edmunds yet can be had for several thousand dollars less than a Civic or Corolla of comparable year & condition, at least in my neck of the woods. Camry is a nice car & is roomier than a Civic or Corolla which might serve you better due to your height. But I am a little leery because they seem to have a problem w/ oil gelling & causing engine failure if they weren’t properly maintained (this is documented on a number of web sites, yet still generally ignored by the mainstream media). Many Accords can be found in the used car market, but again the name ‘Honda’ seems to be enough to demand a premium price. Maintenance is a key in used cars. If you can find a car that has been cared for, one that has been properly maintained & has its service records intact, that is probably more important than the make & model, despite what Honda & Toyota would want you to think.
Q: Can I buy a cheap used car after I have my court hearing with Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
My court hearing for meeting the creditors/trustee is on July 10th for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Florida. I was wonder since my household only have 1 car. I really need to have a extra car for me to use for work instead of using my spouse car. I’m planning to pay cash for a cheap used car but I need to know will it be a problem once after I do my court hearing?
Well I guess I have to wait for the letter of discharge right?? How long does that usually take?
A: You should wait until the BK is final; the reason is 1) you are not supposed to have that much cash 2) you should not change your assets until he BK is final 3) a creditor may throw a monkey wrench in the works and you have to answer some more questions under oath before it is all done, and you would have to reveal the car or risk having your BK thrown out 5) there is too much risk for too little reward 6) if you absolutely cannot live and I mean get to work, see if you can rent one for the interim from a “junk car rental place” 7) you NEED to not change your status at all until it is final 
you should be asking your BK attorney this question I hope you have beed advised that you cannot increase your income AT ALL until your BK is final, the rulkes are so strict that I am amzed that a two earner family was able to pass the means test for a chapter 7…good luck and don’t risk having your chapter 7 converted to a 13
Q: What is the best used car to purchase for the least amount of money?
I would like to buy a used car between the years 2000 and 2004. I would like to stay around $5000. Does anyone know the best car to get for this price?
A: I had a Honda civic for 6 years, and I am sorry I got rid of it. It had great gas miles, and plenty of power, and was the most reliable car I ever owned, and toyotas are very dependable too. Happy shopping.
