By Pete Roberts

Many people when searching for used cars check their local used car dealer lots. Used car dealers often have the vehicle at a high book value but the vehicle has often been through a safety check and tuneup and this may include a complete detail. If you are buying from a reputable dealer chances are you are buying a quality used car.

When you buy a used car for sale from a private party you can find good deals often below book value. It is to your advantage to know a vehicles value before you negotiate of buy it. You will find plenty of guides or books out there that will give you an idea of a vehicle value based on make, model, year and mileage.

In some instances a reputable dealer can save you money by offering a better loan deal than the loan quotes you have already received.

Many people when searching for used cars often start in the classifieds and used car lots. Sometime you best deals can be found at a used car auction. Car auctions are in every state and major city from Arizona to Maine and can be repo, police, public and online car auctions and usually require you to pay for the vehicle the same day and take delivery and you will find yourself competing against dealers because the deals are often fantastic.
