Be Wise When Buying Used

Wednesday November 12, 2008
With money getting tighter and tighter, many of us are skipping the new car lot and looking into buying a previously owned, previously depreciated, car or truck. This is a great idea in a questionable economy. You may not get the satisfaction of breathing in that new car smell for the next couple of months, but you'll save money (and probably some brain cells) if you make a wise decision on a used car. Since it's not new, there are some things to keep an eye out for when you go used. Our used car guru Keith Griffin has put together one of the best Top 10 Questions To Ask a Used Car Dealer I've seen. It's more than a good idea to check it out before you buy your next used car or truck, it's essential. A wise used car decision will mean fewer expensive car repairs down the road. That's worth 5 minutes of your time.
