Buying Used Car<\/h3>\n

Thinking about buying a used car? Here are 10 things you might want to know before making your purchase..<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What year is the vehicle<\/li>\n
  2. Does it have a clear title, no leans on it<\/li>\n
  3. Does it have a salvage title<\/li>\n
  4. Is there a check engine light on<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Are there any leaks<\/li>\n
  6. Is there anything that doesn’t work<\/li>\n
  7. How does it run, stop and steer<\/li>\n
  8. What condition are the tires in<\/li>\n
  9. Does the air conditioning<\/a> work<\/li>\n
  10. Do the windshield wipers work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These are a few things that can cost you a significant amount of money if they are in need of repair. Not all these items will keep the car from going down the road today, but how much do you want to spend in the future. Better yet, how much do you have to spend when it breaks in two weeks.<\/p>\n
