How to buy a used car in Amercia?

Question

i am a new one to America. And I want to buy a used car here. how can I buy a economical used car? I live nearby Scaromento now.

Answer 1

You can get the best deal by saving up your money and going to a car auction. Or you can build your credit up and go to a car dealership. But you'll end up paying more.

Answer 2

Go to a dealership with a bit of cash, and since you will probably have no credit rating..... you will need a co-signer(someone else to sign paperwork and be responsible for the car.)

Answer 3

unfortunately "most" used car dealers are not the most honest people you will find.

your better off finding a private seller, then having a mechanic inspect the vehicle BEFORE you buy it.

the $100 spent is worth it.

many of these cars can be found for $4,000 or less.

98 Acura CL

98 Ford Mustang V6

98 Honda Accord or Civic

98 Nissan Frontier or Pathfinder

98 Subaru Impreza or Legacy

98-00 Toyota Corolla or Echo 00

Answer 5

You can do it by looking on the newspaper in your area, college campus ads, Autotrader.com is a good webpage to help you buy a car in your area.  You can search for a model, maximun miles and how much you want to spend in the purchase of the car.  It also tells you how far the vehicle is from where you are located and the contact information.  I would buy a used chevrolet or ford (2000 or newer) with no more than 100.000 miles so you won't have any problems.  And I would not spend more than $4000 in a used car.  I run into the same issue when I got to America and I've found out that there is no need to go the dealership since most of the time their cars are overpriced and you can get the same car for sale by a private owner for a lot less $.  

Good luck finding a car and welcome to America.

ps: another page to check the value of the car you want to buy is www.kbb.com or www.nada.com

Answer 6

one piece of advice from america to you---DO NOT BUY AMERICAN CARS OR KIA OR DAEWOO OR HUNDAYI.

Otherwise any other car you buy will be fine---just go to craigslist.com and search the classifiends in your area.  Car dealerships are the WORST RIP-OFF EVER!  99.99% of car dealers cheat and lie!  It is a true fact.
