Purchasing a vehicle from a used auto sales dealership can turn what should be a very fulfilling experience into a disaster is you do not choose a reliable second hand auto dealer. Purchasing an unreliable vehicle from a used auto sales dealer is often referred to as buying a lemon due to the fact that you are then stuck with an unusable means of transport as well as a sour taste in your mouth. Many used auto sales dealers sell a car as is or “voetstoots” as we say in South Africa and you will have no means of recompense when you find out the vehicle has a variety problems.
It is therefore very important to ensure that the used auto sales dealers as well as the car you want to buy are both reliable and reputable. The best way to do this is to take a mechanic or a person with a good knowledge of cars and engines along with you. A mechanic in the same area as the used auto sales dealer may be aware of the dealer’s reputation and will also be able to check whether the engine and all the mechanical parts on the car are in good working order. The mechanic will be able to identify any parts that need to be replaced and will be able to provide you with quote on having these items repaired.
You can then negotiate with the used auto sales dealer to deduct this amount from the purchase price of the car or perform the necessary repairs before you purchase the car. If the used car sales dealer is not willing to negotiate and provide you with a car that is in good running order, rather look for a more reputable dealership.
