Never Buy A Car On An Online Auction

Unless your a dealer, and have the money not to really worry about it ok! The experience to know right off the top of your head if it's a good deal. But if your shopping for a car, never, never buy any used vehicle without test driving it and taking it to a mechanic you trust or better yet a local manufacturer and have the car checked out.

Online shopping for a vehicle is only for informational purposes only, your research is your responsibility. Buying a car on your own from an auction can be rewarding, but very risky, you only get a few minutes to look at the car and people only talk about the "SAVINGS", but not the headaches that can be associated with your dream car purchase.

Buying from your local reputable dealer is highly recommended. A known name brand like Honda, Toyota, Nissan. If your buying a Nissan, get it from the original dealer same thing goes with any make or model.

Why?, because if anything goes wrong, the originator will have heads up on any mechanical situations and is the best qualified in repairing any problem. If you purchase from a dealer you also have the ability to purchase any extended warranties to cover any faults.

Extended warranties are great, just make sure you get all the details of what "is not covered". Once you have that, then all else is gold. Invest a few dollars on the research of your car ahead of time , so that later on you won't regret your purchase.

I highly recommend not to purchase any used car from someone privately. Why Carlos? because if anything went wrong, your deal is over, your money is gone, and 9 out of ten the previous owner knows nothing about repairing vehicles.

Now if the vehicle is pre-owned but still under the original factory warranty, then there are possibilities, but I still don't recommend it.
That's my take on cars, thanks for reading.
GOD BLESS YOU

Auto Repair Made Easy - 5 Life-Or-Death Questions For You AND Your Mechanic

Seasons greetings! Time to get your car winterized. But with so little information, and car care coal in almost every stocking, how will you protect yourself against auto repair frostbite? Listen up! Here are the top 5 tips from people who have been there before…

#1: Ask Yourself: Does your mechanic explain everything in language YOU understand?

Randy from Arlington Heights says he won’t authorize any work until he has a complete understanding of what’s in store: “I didn’t know much about my car and I used to think I was asking stupid questions. But I realized that I’m spending my money, and it’s their job to inform me! No question is ever stupid. In fact, if I can’t get a straight answer, I’ll just take my car elsewhere.”

#2: Ask Yourself: How Are You Being Treated?

“When a mechanic talks down to me, or treats me poorly, or won’t give me information and estimates, I just move along,” says Jen from Oak Park. “Back in the day I would politely ask for my keys and go elsewhere. Now that I’m a bit wiser, I make most of my decisions online.”

#3: Ask Your Mechanic: Are There Lower Cost Alternatives To High Dollar Repair?

Imagine being slapped with a $1200 repair bill when you’re still making payments on your car. Think it sounds far-fetched? Not at all. Rachel from Glenview found herself in that exact situation. “I still was making payments on this thing and it wasn’t until I compared notes from a few places that I found a seasonal fix to my problem. I went back in and turned an almost $1200 job into a $180 job.”

#4: Ask Your Mechanic: What Is The Top Priority?

Scott from Addison discovered how to space it out: “The work I needed had a price tag about $350 more than my car was even worth. But I didn’t have enough spending cash to just go out and grab a replacement. I hit a few shops online and found one that would work with me by focusing on the major issue and then scheduling multiple, less-costly follow ups.”

#5: Ask Your Mechanic: For A Ballpark Figure And Relevant Information

“There’s nothing wrong with asking for a general estimate over the phone or online.” Says Carla of Chicago, “Yes I understand they need to look at my car to be sure, but if the person can’t give me reasonable information and/or a ballpark price, it makes me think they’re not qualified. And if they start doing that ‘bring it in and we’ll take a look’ dance, I just head elsewhere.”

Always remember: in almost every instance, clear communication and education are the #1 ways for you to avoid being scammed by unscrupulous repair shops. When in doubt always ask questions. And with the availability of online tools, you should compare quotes and notes on local Service Professionals before you find yourself living an auto repair nightmare.
