Tips for buying a used car

I have and never will buy a new car myself - used vehicles are good enough for me, plus I get a certain feeling of satisfaction knowing that someone has suffered the worst (ie the first three years), amortization of the vehicle. But I'm sure many of you car lovers out there would disagree! But in any case, if any of you have plans to buy or replace your car in the near future, and prefer to buy used cars, I'd say it's worth spending a little time to do your homework to make sure that you choose a good UN
Budget
First things first - set a realistic budget. Take into account the running costs and insurance, and remember, although very old cars may be cheaper to buy, they can be more expensive to operate and maintain.

Once you know how much you have to spend, you can start looking. Check out these tips from Halifax:

• Be careful with buying from a private seller who only uses a mobile phone number or wants to meet you somewhere other than in their home or office.
• Ask to see the log books and full service history. Contact the garage who serviced the machine and check whether there are serious problems.
• Beware of private sellers who are oil stains on their road or other vehicles for sale outside their homes - private seller with high turnover may simply be "brilliant and sale of" used cars received from other sources.
• Check the chassis of the car and VIN number match the registration data.
• Do not be afraid to take the car to the garage or mechanic for them to check it before you buy. Consider getting a check from a reputable organization of automobile, such as AA.
• Never buy a car without a registration document / certificate (this document V5/V5C). Make sure the document is genuine - to keep it on the light to see if there is a watermark DVLA.
• Check timing (cars that have had their mileage reduced on the odometer). Does the wear on the steering wheel, shifter and pedals, etc. match to the mileage recorded?
• Test drive the car (providing you are insured first) on various roads, listening to hear if the engine seems like it works smoothly and look for smoke.
• obvious, but make sure the car is fit for purpose. If you need to fit car seats in the back, take them with you to check their compliance (although a really good car may be worth buying new places for the car?). If you need to tow a caravan, make sure he can.

HPI Check
In addition, I would recommend that anyone buying a used car check to see if there are outstanding installment agreement on it.

There are a number of websites offering this service - the most famous probably being the site of HPI, which may help you if the car still belongs to the Finance House, as well as identifying other key details such as if the car was previously declared insurance write-off or stolen. Moreover, you'll often be protected from any losses should the information you receive be recognized invalid.

And although this service normally costs around 20 pounds, you can now get the car checked for just £ 5 at the moment with the RAC (which actually works on HPI).

And finally, although I would highly recommend planning a large purchase such as a car a couple of years ahead, and keeping a certain amount each month to reach its goal, I understand that sometimes you need something a little earlier. If this is the case for you, please, please make sure you choose a cheap unsecured personal loan and pay it as soon as possible.

Taking a quick look in our Personal Loan Centre I can see that the best offer at the moment from Moneyback Bank. Borrowing £ 4k over 2 years would mean that you will pay £ 178,36 per month (typical 6.8% APR), and means that you will pay an extra £ 280 in interest over two years.

Remember that although the lengthening of the time you take to pay off your debt makes your monthly payments lower, which will also lead to an increase in total debt. Try to choose the shortest term loan you can comfortably manage.
