Pre-Owned Car or SUV Buying Tips

By David Leonhardt and Corey Rozon

Selling used cars is a big business. Recent natural disasters have left a large majority of used vehicles unclaimed or sold as junk. A lot of these so called Junkers end up back in the used car market. To ensure that you are not buying a lemon, have a quick look at these five simple steps when purchasing a used car from a private sale. As a bonus I have included one tip everyone should know, when purchasing from a dealer.

Private Sales

1) Why are you Selling? - Ask the seller why they are selling their car in the first place. Put them on the defense so they have to come up with a quick answer, if they hesitate they may have something to hide.

2) Known Problems - Ask the seller to point out all known defects and problems. When doing your own inspection if you find obvious problems that the seller did not mention there might be more wrong with the vehicle then they are letting on.

3) Stains, Leaks & Puddles - Make sure you can view the car where it spends its time while not being driven. Look for stains and leaks in the driveway and garage.

• Rust colored stains indicate a leaking radiator.


• Black or Brown puddles and stains indicate an oil or transmission fluid leak.


• Purple puddles indicate transmission fluid leaks.

• door hinges


• spare tire


• crowbar


• jack


• metal holdings under the seats
