You may already have a car that you would like to trade-in in order to lower the price of the car.
A car trade-in can confuse negotiations, however, as it adds another element to what may
already be very confusing car negotiations. You might also be able to get a better price if you
sell the car in a separate deal to a private purchaser or to the dealership you bought the car
from.
A good way to make sure you will get full value from your trade in or sale is to present a very
clean car to the potential purchaser.
If you are buying a used car, it is important to do a complete visual inspection to ensure that you
are not looking at and wasting your time on a car that is a complete lemon. Just kicking the tires
is not enough.
Look for signs of odometer tampering, or for signs the car has been in an accident and had
bodywork done.
Check for rust under the wheel well, and anywhere else on the car. Make sure the tires are still
in good condition, and will last until you can afford to replace them, at least. Sit in the car, and
check for wear and tear on the upholstery, as well as for signs that someone smoked in the car.
