Almost everything about buying a car is stressful. Researching cars is time-consuming, and it can be hard to find\n a suitable car in your area. Once you do, you have an intimidating meeting with the seller to look forward to.\n And\n even after you make a purchase, it can be hard to tell if you're driving away with a reliable vehicle.
\nLuckily, you don't need to be an expert to get a good deal. If you're thinking about buying a used\n car, these resources may be able to help you.
\nSince 1926, Kelley Blue Book has been one of the most respected car-valuing services,\n both by consumers and\n the automotive industry. Today, in addition to car values, they have a variety of research tools to help you\n find the right vehicle. You can compare vehicles, calculate loan payments, and see the cost of a vehicle\n after five years. They also have car-buying guides and awards, helping you find the right vehicle.
\nEdmunds is another popular website, aiming to provide a simple, enjoyable car-buying\n experience. They\n offer many of the same tools as Kelley Blue Book, as well as their own helpful guides and articles.
\nFew resources can give you as much confidence to negotiate with a seller as TrueCar.\n TrueCar lets you search\n for cars in your area by brand, body type, and price, but the main advantage is its price rating system. You\n can see the average price paid for each model, and TrueCar will let you know of especially good deals with\n its Great Price rating.
\nA vehicle history report is a must if you're thinking of buying a used car. You'll be able to\n learn about a vehicle's accident history, number of previous owners, and more information to ensure\n that your new car is dependable. Two of the most popular vehicle history report providers are AutoCheck and\n CarFax.
\nHere are a few other tips to keep in mind:
\n-In addition to the buying price, consider maintenance and repair costs as well. If you buy a car\n that's slightly more expensive but won't need to be repaired constantly, you'll be happier\n and probably save money in the long run.
\n-Consider getting a pre-purchase inspection before you buy. These can cost around $100, but the peace of mind\n will be worth it.
\n-Remember, the seller probably doesn't like negotiating either, even if it's their job.
\nWhile KBB, Edmunds, and TrueCar are all similar to each other, it's important to check each of them to\n make sure that you're getting the best deal possible. Even if you're not buying from these\n websites, their pricing information is a valuable tool when it comes to negotiating with salesmen or private\n sellers.
