Myths to Avoid When Buying a Used Car – Part II

Used Car

It’s a major decision when choosing which used car to buy. Research needs to be well done and test drives are a must. Many people rely on car guide prices and magazine reviews. While they are helpful, relying on them completely can be misleading. Most of all, making yourself aware of common used car buying myths can save you money and frustration. Following are some common used car myths:

1) Fuel efficiency is the most important factor in deciding the right car – While fuel consumption is a major factor,  it isn’t the most important. Things like depreciation value of the car, diesel or gasoline engine, and condition of the engine, among others, are equally as important if not more at times. Even if you get a used car with a fuel efficient diesel engine it isn’t going to be worth it if you have to spend large amounts on repairing the diesel pump or the diesel particulate filter for example. So, be sure to look at all aspects and not just focus on one.

2) A seemingly nice seller definitely sells good cars – Here’s the thing – you don’t know the seller. So never assume their character and definitely don’t assume the reliability and condition of the car based on the seller’s apparent personality. It is wisest to check out the car in the place that it is registered and to, of course, do a thorough check before buying it.

Myths to Avoid When Buying a Used Car – Part I

 

Used Car

Buying a used car is trickier than buying a new one, for obvious reasons. So, how do we avoid making a choice that will doom us to automotive and financial hell? For one thing, we need to make sure we don’t fall for any unfounded “myths” regarding used cars. Here are a few myths that are absolutely not true:

1) All used cars are equal – This is a myth that is not true at all. The quality and reliability of used cars vary greatly depending on how old it is, how much mileage it has already covered, and the reliability record of that particular model. Some car manufacturers do make it a point that their cars have a good reputation as used cars. For example, the Honda Civic, Chevrolet Impala and Ford Taurus are widely accepted to be among the safest used car choices when it comes to long term reliability whereas other car makers like Land Rovers don’t do so well on a long term spectrum.

2) Buying from a dealer gives me a warranty and that is worth the extra money – Many people prefer buying from used car dealers rather than private sellers because of the warranty. While this is a logical approach to used car buying, you’ll want to ensure the warranty you’re signing up for is compatible with your expectations, otherwise you’ll likely experience lost money and frustrations down the road.
