How to Buy a Used Car
Nearly everybody buys a used car sooner or later, as a primary vehicle or as a second car. Indeed(当然), three out of four sales today are used cars, and theyre not cheap junkers (废物)either the average price now is $ 5500, about half what a new car costs. Make the wrong selection and a major investment (投资)can be lost the moment you drive off the lot.
There is far less chance of this happening to you if you know: when to buy, where to buy, how to examine (仔细检查) the car, how to conduct (进行) your own road test, and how to bargain over (讲价)the price.
When to buy
Shop during the day. Lighting makes cars gleam (V 闪光)like jewels (宝石)at night. In daylight they look dull (黯淡的), but realistic.
Dont shop in the rain. It can mask(掩盖) liquids (液体) that might be leaking (泄漏). If possible, shop in the winter when supplies are high and demand (需求)is low.
Where to buy
Shop the suburbs. In more affluent (富有的)neighbourhoods cars are more likely to have been well cared for.
A private owner normally sells a car for less than a dealer does, but almost always as is, with no guarantee(质量保证). Thats an acceptable risk if what youre looking for is a cheap second car to drive to the station.
