Top Ten Used Car Buys
When you drive that brand new car off the dealers lot, it loses 20% of its value at the curb. In this economy it just doesn’t make sense. Families and working professionals are turning to used car lots for the best value. Most importantly, you want to make sure the original factory warranty is still in effect. Then you get the carfax back clean, and it’s off to the grocery store. Back up a minute. If the previous owner used a mom and pop mechanic, chances are its not on the carfax report. Always have a mechanic you trust check the vehicle out, before you buy. Save yourself a headache and an avoidable repair bill. The top ten used car list was made with a combination of factors. Including reliability, safety, and fuel economy.
