Before Purchasing A Used Car Be aware of the following:

• Inspect the car in daylight and good weather.
• Bring someone you trust along to help you make a thorough appraisal.
• Don't expect perfection in a used car.
• Compromise on minor problems you can fix yourself, but don't overlook serious defects.
• Make safety a major priority. Older vehicles may not be equipped with airbags, child safety seats, seat belts, anti-lock brakes or security systems.
• Road test before you commit to buy. If you are not allowed to test drive the car, do not buy it.
• Have a mechanic you know and trust inspect the car thoroughly before you purchase it.
• Again, if the seller will not allow you to have the car inspected, do not buy it.
