WeLoveCostaRica.comThe problem with purchasing a new vehicle is the insurance, it is very high. The problem with purchasing a used car is that they almost cost as much as the new one.
We have purchased two used cars, and had them inspected, plus checked on the recorded history. You can do that by running a Vin# check. You will be able to detect whether you are purchasning a hurricane or flood area car from the US. Diagnostic test, tell the person you are purchasing the car from that you need to have it tested first. It will cost you a little money but then again it probably will save you a lot of money.
Locate where you can have a diagnostic test done, take the owner of the car with you and get the vehicle checked out. My solution as a woman.
My dad alwasy purchased used cars and he told me if all the tires do not match dont buy the car. Match by name, tread, size. Tread because if the previous owner was very carefull, he would rotate the tires often, so the tires would be almost equally worn. Check the doors, hood and trunk. You can never match exactly what the factory orginally put on the car. There will be a slight difference.
Most people purchase vehicles emotionally, they look at all the bells and whistles. I fully believe you can purchase a great used car but you have to take time to check every thing.
Most of you guys know this, I am just joining in the conversation.
