Tips for Finding Second-Hand Car Buyers
Posted by WeBuyCarsToday on December 12th, 2016
It is not easy to find second-hand car buyers because the car industry is filled with scammers and cheaters. You certainly don’t want to be the one to make contact with these kind of dealers. You must make sure that the kind of dealers you start a dialogue with are worth it. It is pretty clear that a used car (be it 1000 miles or 100,000 miles) is much cheaper than that same car when bought brand new off the lot (that is clear). You can prefer a private party because they can help you to find these cars for the best price.
Selecting the Right Car
First, you need to find yourself a budget that you are willing to work with. If you do not have the cash, and if the car qualifies, a bank or credit union may differ a loan.
For your own satisfaction, you must refer to KBB (Kelly Blue Book) for the current private party value of the car that you are purchasing. This will give you a better idea on how much you must be paying for the car, as well as potential negotiating power to lower the price.
If you are not familiar with cars, we suggest finding a shop to do a pre purchase inspection. That way you may know the mechanical condition and can use it as negotiating power. The thing to remember with all the used car buying tips, you must always negotiate with price.
A little tip you need to remember: Most people expect to get lowballed, so they set the price much higher than what they would like to get.
However, if you live in a state that requires a SMOG check, then you need to make sure that the seller has a smog certificate included. You need to verify that the smog is completed within 90 days, otherwise it is not valid for transfer of ownership (CA).
You also might want to double check to make sure that the registration is current. A lot of times, some people sell their car for a cheap price only because they cannot smog it due to a check Engine Light, or some other issues.
Setting up for finding the worthy deals
On the Craigslist page, navigate to your location’s web page, then click Cars and Trucks by owners. In the search settings, se the range from --content-- – (which is your max limit). You need to negotiate within the budget.
After you save your search engine settings, refresh your page, then you will see all of the cars in your area that are set for sale.
Remember this: You need to bookmark the Craigslist page to your home screen on your phone or on your computer. It is easy to get access that way and you will have to mess with the settings again.
It is not that hard to find second-hand car buyers but the important thing is that you need to make sure that they are reliable.
