Bought one of my daughters a new car and after reading this article I think I did pretty good. Paid for it outright instead of financing. Got all of the past mechanical history. Took care of the tax,title and license myself etc...
interesting article.

Most used-car shoppers buy with their eyes.
The right color. The right options. The right brand. The overwhelming majority of buyers have been immersed in an ocean of new-car advertising that make a car's looks seem like the most important ingredient in the recipe.
So what do most do in the end? They try to find the best looking car at the lowest price, and it doesn't matter if the car comes from a dealership or a driveway.
As a car dealer for 15 years and an auto auctioneer for hundreds of public auctions, I can tell you that most people inexplicably fall in love with a pretty car and truck for all the wrong reasons. They make up their mind before knowing all the facts — even when their future transportation needs are dependent on a vehicle with hundreds of possible faults and tens of thousands of parts. The act of spending $100 and a few hours to become familiar with a car's true history seem to be too much trouble.
What are the worst errors when it comes to buying a used car? Let me give you the short version of a long list. Better yet, let me help you overcome them.
