Resources & Tips for buying used cars
In a nut shell - Five steps to buying used
cars:
Step One: Locate a used car through online
classified services such aa Edmunds.com and UsedCars.com and AutoTrader.
They will provide you with available vehicles and prices in
your area.
Step Two: Never, Never buy a used car
without running a CarFax Vehicle History Report on it. Before you buy simply
type in the VIN into there form and you will see if it has
been stolen, in an accident, had the speedometer tampered
with, number of owners, etc. This step can save you thousands
of dollars.
Step Three: Always get pre-approved for
a used car loan before buying. You want to know how much you
can borrow and at what rate upfront! For the best rates and
quickest service, give up2drive a try. They will provide you with a blank check that you can
use to shop instantly. Get your approval and hand the seller
a check - its that easy. Apply

Step Four: Figure out your auto insurance
costs up front. Don't wait until the last minute to find out
that insurance costs are to high. Once you have an idea of
what you want you can get free insurance quotes through 21st Century Insurance and InsureMe.
Step Five: Protect your vehicle with
an extended warranty (Service Contract). It makes good sense!
An extended warranty protects you from mechanical break downs
that can cost you an arm and a leg. It is one of the few insurance
policies you can buy where you may get your moneys worth.
