First-time car buyers and seasoned pros alike should take the time to consider all available options, including pre owned cars, as an important step in the car buying process. By taking the time to understand car values, available options and how the sales process differs between new and previously owned car sales, the advantages of buying pre owned cars becomes clear. It doesn’t have to be a scary experience.

New Car Benefits at Used Car Prices

At the heart of it, previously owned vehicles are less expensive than those just off the production line. This fact alone scares many away from buying pre owned, but it shouldn’t. While the lower cost does reflect wear and tear, it also takes into account things like depreciation and current market values. In other words, by taking the time to find the right previously owned vehicle, it is possible to find a beautifully maintained car (both inside and out) for far less than the price of a new vehicle. Spending time wandering around the lot proves this point.

Look for a dealership that never buys bulk used cars. This helps ensure the available cars are the cleanest, safest and most reliable. It is also a good idea to review the history of each vehicle you are considering. Many dealerships will provide a vehicle history report for customers to review.

Personalized Service and Flexibility

Unlike many big box new car dealerships, pre owned car dealerships often offer a higher level of personalized service. Typical car salesmen are often only interested in selling the most expensive car on the lot or adding in a bunch of options to increase commissions. Those selling pre owned vehicles work with customers to ensure they find the right car for their needs. Customers will be able to work with their dealership until the right car is available.

One of best advantages of buying pre owned cars is flexibility. Instead of traveling to three or more dealership lots, pre owned car dealerships have cars from multiple manufacturers available for customers to consider. This makes it easy to weigh the pros and cons of different vehicles without spending additional time.

There are many things to consider when buying a vehicle. Purchasing a pre owned vehicle does not have to be a scary experience. By working with a reputable dealership, it is possible for anyone to find the ideal vehicle.

SUVs offer the best of the car world: the comfort and easy ride of a sedan or coup with the seating and storage space of an expensive truck. SUVs offer versatility to small and large families alike. In fact, they may be the most versatile vehicle available for drivers of any age. Have a new driver in the family? The SUV’s bulk and added height provide an extra degree of safety. Have a big family? The SUV offers seating space for a large crew without giving up on storage space. Are you an adventurous couple? Drive across the county in comfort and style and carry everything needed for adventure and fun.

Don’t you hate it when this happens? You search endlessly for the car of your dreams, trying lot after lot, frustration after frustration, until finally you see the one perfect vehicle you’ve coveted since the day you started looking… but you can’t buy it because the person at the dealership says you don’t qualify for financing due to bad credit. So what can you do about it?

There are a number of resources available for financial assistance if you are looking for bad credit auto loans. Rich has many options available.

Securing a car loan when you have bad credit is never easy, and it can be especially frustrating if, after a long search, you’ve finally found your dream car. In recent years, people have emphasized the importance of checking your credit score often. Since there are three different agencies giving you these scores, there’s a high risk of information being recorded incorrectly, or someone interfering with your credit history.

At Rich’s Car Corner we offer free credit checks, at no cost to the customer.

Start Prepping Ahead of Time

About three months in advance, run your credit score yourself and see how it would look to a dealer. This way, if you spot any kind of discrepancies, you will be able to correct them right away. The best part is, the very fact you searched out and corrected any problems will further prove your financial responsibility and help increase your score.

Get More Than One Opinion

Yes, you are probably anxious to sign the papers and drive off in your new (to you, at least) car today. But it doesn’t mean you should take the first loan offer you get. The terms may look good at first, but there might be some fine print you can’t afford to miss. You wouldn’t want a low credit car loan, which requires you to buy add-on features or make payments for ten years. It’s important to shop around and find the right balance between the interest rate and monthly payments.

Bring the Evidence

The whole purpose behind a credit score is to give retailers or financial companies physical evidence you can pay bills on time. If the score alone isn’t enough, then bring along some documentation further proving what a solid payer you are. A recent pay stub from your job, a utility bill, your driver’s license, and letters of reference can go a long way in showing you’re ready for this.

At Rich’s Car Corner, there is no danger of manipulation so we can offer great deals for customers seeking bad credit car loans. Come by the lot or go online to complete our financing form and see for yourself all we can do for you.

Making the decision to purchase a car is a difficult one, especially with all of the options available to today’s consumer. However, those who decide buying a used car is the right choice have made the first step toward choosing a car that is budget-friendly, safe and reliable. Taking the time to understand the process answers the question of how to buy your first used car.

Six Steps to Success

Break down the process of buying used cars into six easy-to-understand steps.

1. Choose the right vehicle: Investigate used cars at a variety of used car dealerships. It is a good idea to go prepared with a list of features and models. Work with the dealership to select a car that is offers right price range, mileage range and condition.
2. Investigate: Take the time to investigate the history of the vehicle. Many dealerships will offer a vehicle history report to provide the important information that plays in the process of buying a used car.
3. Finance the vehicle: Many dealerships will provide consumers access to financing options in-house. Car buyers should contact banks or credit companies to establish a line of credit to cover the purchase of the vehicle. This step is sometimes the first step taken because some consumers apply for pre-approval and receive documentation from a financial institute about the amount of money available for the purchase of a vehicle.
4. Negotiate the price: Consumers should remember the power of negotiation. Take the time to understand current market values and examine pricing guidelines online. Use this information to negotiate with the dealership for the best price.
5. Finalize the deal: Signing the papers, arranging for insurance and getting temporary tags is the next step. This will take place at the dealership. It is at that time the vehicle’s ownership is transferred from the dealership to the new owner.
6. Consider an extended warranty: Often it is possible to purchase an extended warranty for a used car. This warranty will provide the owner with added peace of mind because some repairs and maintenance will be covered under the additional warranty. There is, of course, a price for the warranty, but the added protection is well worth the expense.

Understanding how to buy your first car doesn’t stop with these six steps. It is a work in progress and often takes time. However, with the right information, tools and patience, a used car is just around the corner.
