How To Get The Best Deal When Buying Used Cars Online

Nowadays, car buyers choose to buy a used car instead of a brand new one. Car auctions in the Internet have taken out the hassle of visiting each and every second-hand car dealership. Just like any online transaction, you need to remember a few pointers to get the best deal.

Have a price range that you are willing to spend. Don’t forget to include other expenses in addition to the car’s selling price. These expenses include transfer of ownership, attorney’s fees, insurance, and registration (the car just might have to be registered in the near future).

Visit car auction sites online with good standing, like gov-auctions.org, eBay.com, car-auction.com, seizecars.com, and auctionspass.com. Always compare and contrast the asking price for the car that you are interested in, which gives you a ballpark figure of how much discount you can ask from the seller. Read more . . .

Green Cars Not Necessarily Dull

Pundits have been predicting that 2008 won’t be kind to auto manufacturers.   But a quick tour of the year’s first two major auto shows — the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and the Chicago Auto Show — demonstrates that manufacturers plan to do anything but pull in their horns. (And when it comes to Chrysler, we can say that quite literally, since its Detroit show press event featured a full-on cattle drive.) Read more . . .
