Many motorists dream about owning a new automobile.
But at today's lofty prices, those subsequent high payments may turn a person's financial situation into a three to five year nightmare of monthly payments. Therefore, many potential car buyers are turning to the used-car market for a quality vehicle to serve as the family's chief transportation. Such perils can be minimized if a potential used-car buyer follows a rigid set of guidelines. The first step, according to information gathered at the Arizona Department of Public Safety, is to do your shopping in good weather and in old clothes because in order to do the job right, you will need to crawl underneath the car. Upon finding a used car of interest, kneel down by each fender and peer down the side of the car, front and back.
