INTRODUCTION

A car buying is one of the largest investments that an individual makes in the life,

and as a consumer he or she always thinks about car values: reliability and safety of transportation.

Unfortunately, a lot of used car buyers’ end up a vehicle purchasing that is not what they expected it to be.

Anyone can easily identify a good used car and reduce a risk of the potential lemons,

if he or she takes into consideration the following important factors…



PART 1The Reliability Record

The reliability-history is committed to help the auto buyers reducing a risk of the used car:

Before to choose a used car, select a car model with reliability record

Being an annual subscriber survey for Consumer Reports (CR’s),

everyone will be provided by special real-world reliability information

This reliability information can help to strict a car model selection

Look into the best and the worst used cars for a quick reference etc.



PART 1Buyer’s Guide as the Window Sticker

The American Federal Trade Commission obligate the auto dealers to find out and post a

“Buyer’s Guide” in every used vehicle. This guide will include:

Trade information about the used car if is being sold ‘as is’ or with a warranty

Information about the repair costs that the auto dealer is obligated to pay

If there were any changes in coverage, the Guide will provide you “before the sale” information

Information override any different provisions in your sales contract

If the Buyer’s Guide says that the vehicle is covered by a warranty,

the dealer must honor that warranty etc.



PART 2The Interior of the used car

A cabin with impaired dashboard, missing knobs, handles, and buttons

Shabby and frayed seat belts

Used and worn pedals

Very high mileage

Discolored and fade carpeting,

Electrical problems

All these interior elements are signs of flood damage.



PART 2Under the Hood

The engine, radiator, battery should be relatively grease-free

Belts and hoses should be flexible and unworn

Wet spots are the signs the leaking oil or fluids etc.



PART 2Engine Oil of the Used Car

Keep the engine cool and check if all the fluids are clean,

The oil level should be between the ‘full’ and ‘add’ marks

Normal engine oil is brown or black, depending on when it was last change

Check the transmission fluid dipstick right after the car has been driven for more than 10 minutes

Leave the engine running and put it in neutral or park according to the owner’s manual

Inspect the fluid’s condition and smell

issues sooner or later.
