Question 1

How Do I Get the Most for My Trade-In?

Accepted Answer

The best way to get the most for your trade-in vehicle is to take great care of it and document that care every step of the way. Save your maintenance and repair invoices and keep a detailed record of all that’s been done to your car.

Question 2

What is a CarFax?

Accepted Answer

CarFax is one of a number of organizations that provide drivers and auto dealers with detailed vehicle history reports. If you’re buying a used car, be sure to ask about the CarFax report, and remember that a vehicle without a detailed history may be a riskier purchase—a fact you can use to negotiate a lower price if you think it’s worth that risk.

Question 3

What are the benefits of buying a used car?

Accepted Answer

Used vehicles don’t need as many repairs as they used to. These days, cars are engineered to last longer than they once were. As a result, many used cars are more dependable than you’d think. You can also get a fairly new used car that’s only two- or three years old with many modern amenities at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

Question 4

How should I prepare when going to buy a used car?

Accepted Answer

Even if you buy from a dealer, it’s good practice to walk around the vehicle and give it a brief but detailed inspection before test-driving. Furthermore, you should have an idea of a particular make and model’s value before negotiating.
