Here are 10 things to keep in mind before you sign the dotted line on a used car.
1. Before selecting a used car you want to buy, read some reviews and check if the car has a good track record in terms of reliability. You may get an unreliable car cheap, but it’ll likely break down. Spend a little more money on something more reliable as repairs are still expensive on cheap cars.
2. Find out the fuel economy rating of the vehicle(s) you’re interested in, and how much it’ll cost to insure. If this is your first car, insurance will be high especially if you’re getting a sporty, 2-door vehicle. Staying with a 4-door sedan will help you get better insurance rates. Also, with gas prices on the rise, fuel economy is becoming even more important.
