You know why you want a used car but how much are you willing to shell out for it? Used cars can range anywhere between $10,000 and $30,000. It depends on the features and condition of the car. Make sure your finances are in order before you decide to purchase.

You may be thinking, for $30,000 you can buy a brand new car rather than a used one. While that’s true, you are able to afford a luxury car such as a used Mercedes-Benz E-Class or Lexus RX for the same amount you would spend on a brand new Ford or Toyota. The decision to go ahead with the purchase depends on the car you have in mind and the amount you are willing to pay for it.

An important point to remember is to discuss finances after you have seen the car and ensured it is in top condition. Check each and every inch of the car thoroughly before you even start asking questions. Salespeople usually try to hurry the deal so that you end up buying a car which is not worth the money. Be wary of such dealers.

When it comes to price, let the dealer begin the negotiation. Never disclose your finances to them. They may amp up the price if the car is valued lower because they are now aware of what you can afford. Do your homework before you step into their parking lot. It will ensure you do not get conned into paying more than what the car is worth. The key is to be assertive and negotiate a fair deal.
