Ever want to buy a car while you are positive that it is the perfect one for you? And that you wasn't decieved? Ever want to know the tricks about buying a perfect used car? Where to look for used cars? what to look for when buying a used car? What car is right for you? There are many questions you may have when it comes to used car buying process.
This guide will answer to some of these questions and hopefully, make the used car buying process easier for you. There are many essential facts you should consider before buying your next car so you won't regret your decision for a moment afterwards.

There are three main and essential phases for buying a used car...


First, Studying phase
Be prepared. Do as much research as you can. Read reviews, consumer reports, ask colleagues and friends, use the internet, compare options, gather gas consumption data on the make and model you're interested in. Try to determine maintenance costs and upkeep, etc.
Your goal should be to narrow your search to one or two models. Why? Because if you just enter a dealership without knowing what you want, chances are more likely than not that you won't be happy with your purchase. Later you may find out that it's simply not exactly what you wanted or what you can afford.

"Someone bought a used BMW for quite a reasonable price. When he went for servicing, they discovered that the rear shock absorber was leaking. The price for the part alone was close to 5000 LE! Finally, he sold his BMW and bought a used Toyota Camry that proved less expensive to maintain."

Create a list of the cars that you want to see, and try to make these cars of three or less models maximum.

Second, Comparing & Testing phase
You should pay a visite to the owners of the cars on your list to check the cars, and without a doubt, the first thing you should do you is check the car's history and service records, this will help you to eliminate half of the vehicles from your list with potential problems. Vehicles that have been flooded or restored after serious accidents, those with rolled back odometers, heavily abused vehicles (e.g., ex-rentals), etc., can be eliminated after simply checking the history record of the vehicle.

For the rest of the cars on your list, you should check the cars by yourself very carefully. Ask a knowledgeable person who knows about cars to help you.

As a final step, bring the car to the mechanic you trust for an inspection. A word of caution, NEVER give a deposit before the car is inspected.

Third, Price negotiation and Paperwork phase

After choosing the car you want to buy, be extremely careful, you must check the registration papers that proves that the person your buying the car from is the actual owner of the car and its not a stolen car.
After that comes the price negotiation, when you use a proper negotiation technique you can get a reasonable discount.
