New car dealers who also sell used cars usually are more expensive than independent used-ca- r lota, but it is there you will often find late models in good shape that the dealer received aa tradeins. The best cars on the lota are usually the ones of the make the dealer sella, since the dealerships have service facilities. They also usually offer a warranty and have a fixed address where you can complain in case of problems. The stock at independent used-ca- r lota may be cheaper, but the quality of the merchandise may be more doubtful. If you do not have first-han- d knowledge of the dealer, whether it be a new or used car dealership, ask for names and addresses of previous used car owners who bought more than six months ago. A reliable dealer will give you this information. Then contact these people to see how they were treated after the sale, what kind of service they got and whether the car was as reliable aa it waa represented to be. If you decide to look at privately advertised cars, keep in mind the advantages and disadvantages of buying this way. You may get a good car for less money than from a dealer, or you may buy from the original owner who can tell you all about the car. If the private seller is not the original owner, however, you probably will have no way of knowing the full history of the car. Request that the owner supply you with service records, service station or dealer references, and record of original purchase. You will also have to handle the registration paperwork yourself, which you will generally need to do before you can drive the car away. Be sure your bill of aale notes the cars mileage. . Some other places to consider buying a used car are banks, credit unions and other lenders who sometimes offer fairly new, repossessed cars. Also, auto rental agencies often sell newer, can from their fleets. The cars may have covered a lot of ground, but have generally been well kept Most agencies will show you the maintenance records and will often give you a limited warranty. well-equipp- Automotive POOR mm. - |
