Topic	Tips for buying a used car?
dancer62 12/05/19 2:04:59 AM #10:	$2000-$3000 car? Don't buy from a dealer, all you'll get is stuff they picked up on speculation for $500 at auctions. Buy from a private party. Check Craigslist. If you don't know much about cars, take your potential buy to a mechanic and get an opinion. Cheap to spend $50 to save $3000. Even cheaper, spend the $300 on the new alternator for the car you already have. That avoids the issue of sales tax, license, and insurance for another car, probably $350 tax and license and $100/month insurance. BTW, Carfax or similar will tell you ownership and warranty/insurance repairs, pretty meaningless for a car with 150,000-200,000 miles. Take it to a mechanic or bring a mechanic with you. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less <cite>dancer62 posted [p:931128112] in Tips for b... [t:78227457]...</cite> <quote>$2000-$3000 car?
