If you are in the market for a used car, you should always get a CarFax report. The CarFax report will let effuel reviews you know if the car has been in an accident. If the car has been in an accident, you probably want to keep searching and not buy that car.

Do not make the mistake of believing that you have to pay the full asking price for a used car. There should always be room for negotiation. if a car has been on the market for a while with no buyers, that will make the seller more likely to accept an offer of less than they are asking for.

Arrange car financing prior to buying a car. Start with your local bank for options. You will often get a better interest rate by doing this, and you will walk into the dealership knowing how much you can really afford to pay for your new car.
