Used car buying?

[corilannam]

Hello, Flist,

Do any of you happen to have experience buying a used car? Do you also happen to have any advice to share with a potential used car buyer? Tips, tricks, things to look out for, private buyers vs. dealers, warranties, loans, etc?

Help?

I can recommend CarMax (there's one in White Marsh and I think there's one down closer to you). They don't haggle. They give good deals. The cars are guaranteed for a period of time and they're all inspected and everything before they're sold. The salespeople are very low pressure. And the selection is very good. You can go online and see what they have and if you find something you like, you can go then and test it. It's a pretty good place.

I second Carmax, which is where I boughty my car - I started by checking out their website, which will show you what they have in store, the prices, etc, before you go down there. Also, I haunted edmunds.com.

Yeah, there's a CarMax very close to me, right by the Metro station. I've looked at their online selection before, and they seem to have a lot of nice cars.
