How to Buy a Used Car
Buying a used car is a bit of a gamble--there is no guarantee that the car is accident-free, has
real mileage, and was properly maintained. There may be some hidden problems like a worn
out automatic transmission, or engine problems that may not have been obvious when you
test-drove the car. You must ask yourself: "Will I save money when buying a used car? How
do I eliminate the risk of potential problems, and is this actually possible to do?" Here are four
