AP9 24ProtectPlus Gives Members Helpful Tips on Buying Used Cars
AP9 24 Protect Plus shouts out to used car buyers: "Time to do some homework!"
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) January 11, 2007
There's an age-old saying, "Let the buyer beware." Often, this warning applies to the purchase of cars -- especially used ones. But thanks to AP9 24 Protect Plus (http://www.24protectplus-program. com/), a premier security program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC, members can get valuable tips and suggestions for saving money on used car purchases.
AP9 24 Protect Plus understands that there are a lot of factors to consider when buying a used car -- whether to buy from a dealer or a private owner; figuring out what make and model best fits a given driving style and budget; and, of course, the asking price. With all those things in mind, AP9 24ProtectPlus (http://www.24protectplus-program. com/) offers the following tips to make buying a used car a little easier -- and ultimately a better investment in the long run:
-- Do some homework, and shop around. Start by reading the classified section of the newspaper, magazines for car enthusiasts (e. g., Car Mechanics Magazine) and monthly publications such as the local Penny Saver. Also, use an Internet search engine, and type in the keywords "used car." Search results should include detailed instructions for conducting a pre-purchase inspection, ads for cars available for sale and other useful information.
-- Examine the car personally, and use an inspection checklist. Here's where all that research comes in handy. Many car magazines include easy-to-follow checklists, and the Internet is loaded with a variety of car evaluation checklists.
-- Test-drive the car in different weather conditions. Depending on where you live, test-drive the car in rain, snow and both cold and hot temperature extremes. Also, test it on highways, local roads and in stop-and-go traffic.
-- Talk to the previous owner. Make sure you know the car's history. Remember that what's commonly known as "curb appeal" (how the car looks) doesn't always tell the whole story.
-- Hire a mechanic to give the car a clean bill of health. All that homework won't mean anything if a professional doesn't check the car out before the buy. Have a certified mechanic test the car, check the battery and inspect other key parts and features.
