A Wise Word for Buying Used Cars

Many people consider buying used as too much of a hassle. They feel as though their money would be better spent on a new car, one for which they can be certain of the history. However, what these people fail to realize is that, even with a new car, there is the possibility of deception or pre-existing problems. The trick, therefore, is not to buy a new car in order to escape difficulty, but to do the proper amount of research to ensure a wonderful purchase experience, whichever you decide to buy.

Something you should always remember when looking to buy used is to never trust what the seller says. If you are buying from a dealer, demand a vehicle history report. Do NOT always trust the car title. Occasionally during transport, the details of a car are changed. If you only go by the information given, you run the risk of paying for a car that was once listed as “totalled” in another location and time. This was the issue for many that were sold during post-Hurricane Katrina. Many flooded drifted their way north and were cleaned up and sold with a clean slate. All whilst corrosion was slowly destroying the car on the inside. This is not to say that all used car dealers are thieves, but their main goal is to make a living and they may not be as thorough as you want them to be concerning a “new” car.

Before you spend your hard earned cash on used , become acquainted with the “lemon” laws in your country or state. Lemon laws are designed for the reselling of . They declare that if a purchased car fails an inspection within a certain amount of time, you are fully entitled to a refund. These laws were created to protect the consumer, but you can’t utilize them properly if you are not aware of their advantages or purchase a vehicle “as-is”.

Another important thing to bear in mind is that the person selling the car might not be the actual owner. When you buy a used car from an individual, be sure to check the registration details of the vehicle before you make any commitments. The last thing you want is to find out that you bought a car which has a list of liens against it. The problem can be avoided by going to a respectable dealership.

Whether you purchase a new car or a used car, always remember “you get what you pay for”. Whilst you should try to find a good deal, don’t jump at the cheapest one. Always check the mileage and age of the car against that car’s make and model. If it’s too old or has travelled too far, leave it. It makes more sense to try to negotiate a reliable car than to purchase one that’s dirt cheap that will likely fail when you need it most. The internet is a great place to search for such information with a wealth of do’s and don’ts.

  6. I met North once when I was working on News Line (in the days when North was Gerry Healy's man and conducting the so-called Security and the Fourth International investigation together with a journo called Alex Mitchell. I tried putting to them some thoughts I had about Mark Zborowski and his later activities, but got the feeling North wasn't interested or did not have time for people he considered unimportant (and believe me I was a nobody in the organisation).Later when the WRP blew up North was mainly concerned with pulling his own supporters away from any connection and pretending the row with Healy was unimportant. Maybe he had stuff to hide such as ignoring what had happened to some Workers League members. But later his supporters seem to have fed stuff to the capitalist press about Healy and the WRP supposedly “spying” on Jewish people for Colonel Gaddafi. Oddly, though I had been a bit of an expert on Zionism I never got enlisted for that, nor alas did I see any of the Colonel's money. Getting back to that Security business, though, one of its starting points was an allegation that Nancy Fields, Tim Wohlforth's partner, had concealed stuff about her uncle who brought her up working for the CIA's computer operation. Wohlforth's downfall eventually opened the way for North, so I guess the leader knows something about the duty to declare everything openly to the party, and movement, eh?By the 1990s the Northites were not only denouncing the “privileged background” of all and sundry, but uncovered the “well-known fact” that Workers Aid for Bosnia was carrying sophisticated weaponry on its convoys under contract to mysterious european interests (and presumably with the connivance of the UN troops who searched all the vehicles. Why these powerful interests entrusted expensive gear to a bunch of amateurs (with one or two experienced truckers) in clapped out second hand vehicles I never figured out, must have been a clever ruse. One of North's stooges also announced that our main contact in Tuzla was a “banker”. Well, he had been manager of the local bank though he lived in a tower block (I stayed there once) and I'll wager his income even when the bank was functioning was considerably less than that of Mr. North/Green.Engels may have managed his father's mill, but he picked up politics from Chartists like Harney, and he did not rubbish trades unionists the way North has taught his supporters to. Hyndman was no great Marxist, he accepted money from the Tories and became a watchword for chauvinism and prejudice (read what Connolly said about him). If you want an example of a socialist from privileged background and manufacturer who sided with the workers, take Owen at one end and William Morris at the other. Dave North does not strike me as coming anywhere near either of them.
