on cars
lately we've been thinking of getting a new car. you see, our current car is a sedan-type and with kids always in tow, it gets a bit crowded with all their gadgets, toys, snacks, etc. so i guess we will eventually need to get a bigger car. we've been looking at buying either brand new or used cars from a reliable dealer. and what are the important things to put on the list when looking to buy a car? here's mine: the price, the mileage run (if already used cars), the number of seats, the gasoline consumption, insurance cost, space for luggage, comfort, brand, safety features, maintenance cost... among others, not in that particular order, though. this website on used cars offers a very comprehensive list of choices, covers the important things you need to know when buying a used car by giving excellent advise on questions to ask the sellers like why they are selling their vehicle, if they are the original owner, or how many miles on the clock. they also give you tips on how to inspect a used car both before and after a test drive (there are nine points pre-test drive and at least seven points post-test drive: best advice is to look at the car during the daytime and to also listen for any strange sounds as well as to paying attention to any unusual smells!). they also have safe buying tips and as if that weren’t enough, they also provide you with an 18 points buyer’s checklist! at this day and age, buyers should be armed with all the wisdom and research, especially when buying used cars.
