What are things that one should look for when buying a pre-owned car? What kind of millage one should avoid? What are some of things that should be asked from the owner or should be checked in the car?
I have just started my first full time job. I am not comfortable with buying a brand new car, I think i should be more stable before I decide to go for a brand new one. So, I am basically interested in a pre-owned Honda, Toyota, or Nissan. I don't want to buy anything more then 10k. I have been looking at listings online but I am not quite sure what are the things I should look for and avoid in a pre-owned car. I will appreciate any feedback I can get.
Thanks!
first car?
what will most of your driving be?
highway, city?
I would say get as new as possible, and with as little mileage as possible, and see if it is under factory warranty or a manufactrer certified car with extended warranty.
you can get good deals on 2008Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, or Honda Fit, if you wait a couple of months, u can get a great deal on a brand new 2009.
you can also get corolla or civic 2006-2007 and can find some in that price range, or 2006 nissan altimas.
