Looking for a new car and decided to buy used. Smart choice! With the price of gas and the state of the economy, shelling out all that extra cash for a brand new car when a used car can be just as fuel efficient and a much better deal is like tossing cash into car?s fuel tank and literally burning that money away.

Here are the questions should ask a used car seller before sign on the dotted line:

What is the car?s mileage? Car mileage plays a large part in determining the used car?s value. And remember that used car odometers can be tampered with, which is why  should ask?

Will allow a test drive? Any used car dealership should have no problem letting  test drive their used cars for sale around town. Private sellers might be more reticent, but assure them will allow them to accompany on the trip. Test drives are essential for noticing problems with the car as well as for making sure that the car is the right fit.Will also be able to notice if the odometer appears to be ?stuck? or has problems.

Will allow me to make my own inspection? If they?re reputable, both used car dealers and private sellers should have no problem with bringing the car to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection.

Is there a warranty on the car? If buying from a used car dealership, go for the certified used cars. A lot of used car dealerships offer 112-point inspections and two-year/20,000 miles+ warranties on low- to average-mileage used cars. Some used cars for sale may come with existing factory warranties. When buying from a used car for sale by owner, unless there?s an existing factory warranty, the car is typically sold as-is.

Has this car ever been refurbished or been in an accident? If the used BMW car that?s caught eye was once in an accident, there might be more damage underneath that freshly-painted coat than meets the eye.

What is the vehicle?s history? Certified used cars and other used cars for sale at used car dealerships ought to come with vehicle history reports. (Oftentimes these are even available when you search for used cars online.) Used cars for sale by owner might have official vehicle history reports, but if they don?t,should be able to purchase them online at sites like Carfax using the VIN# of the car. Are the original owner of this car? If want quality, it?s best to choose used cars for sale by the original owner?unless each owner of the car used it for a short period of time. This actually isn?t a moot question for a used car dealer, either; it?s possible that car was for sale just a few years ago as a brand-new car and never got off the lot.
