Your primary buying options are: From a car dealer, from a private individual, via Ebay, or at an auction. Lets go over each option, and their advantages and disadvantages. Buying from a car dealer Advantages: A car dealer will usually have a wide selection of vehicles for you to choose from, and the salesperson will hopefully have the expertise to advise you. Buying from a car dealership can also help you get financing more easily. You may also get a guarantee or warranty on the vehicle from the dealership. Disadvantages: Many people do not like car salesmen as they can be high pressure, but this can be avoided by choosing a salesman you like. You may pay a higher price for a car from a dealership, when compared to other options. Buying from a private individual or via Ebay Advantages: You can get an excellent deal on a used car from a private individual. You may also be able to find less common vehicles, and/or souped up vehicles. Disadvantages: You really have no guarantee as to what you are getting if you get a lemon, too bad. Its hard to know whether to trust the individual or not, as its hard to check out their reputation. Buying at an auction Advantages: You may get a very good deal on a car at an auction. Disadvantages: As with buying from a private individual, it may be difficult to know exactly what condition the vehicle is in. While it may be harder to determine exactly what youre getting, youre less likely to be intentionally tricked than if you are buying from a private individual. After all, the auction companys reputation is at stake. |
