 When going to buy a used car you would want to get a copy of your credit report and make sure you know what your credit score is. We all know that APR and interests rates are all figured off of our credit scores. Since this is a known fact when buying a used car the salesmen will try to low ball your credit score to get you to pay more for the used car.takaful ikhlas

Once you get to the dealership you should have in mind what you are looking for and what you can afford. Don't not let the salesmen tell you what you want or tell you that you need to upgrade for the extra accessories. This is another way they can put extra money in their pocket. They are not concerned about what you want or need. Don't let them talk you into something you have no desire to buy because in the end you are the one that is going to have to live with the decision.

2. 
   
   Don't pay the doc fee -- If they tell you that you must pay the doc fee, wait until the very end when you're about to sign, and then tell them that you want them to take off the fee or you will walk!  Be prepared to walk!

- Make sure all the lights work

- Get the engine checked out by a trusted mechanic

- Look for oil leaks

- Turn off the radio and lower the windows while test driving it for peculiar noises

- If you can, drive uphill with the air condition turned on to the max

- Push the accelerator fast and hard to see if the car responds well

- Make a hard break to test the breaks

- Check for torn-up seats

- Test the speakers and radio, as well as antenna reception (I once bought a used car that had the antenna but didn't have a cable to connect to the radio - of course I found out about that later!)

.- Check the trunk and see if all the tools are there, as well as the spare tire

But there are many other tricks up their sleeves. Some car buyers are so afraid of haggling that they will go to "no-haggle" car lots and lose thousands and thousands of dollars buying ridiculously over-priced cars! What you must remember is that used and new car managers and salesman are constantly coming up with more ways to get more money out of you. In this struggling economy, they are selling less cars and are desperate. But this means that they are going to try and get the most out of every single customer! Be sure, that right now car lots are pulling out every trick in the book to get you in a new car at a price you shouldn't be paying. takaful ikhlas
