When it comes to buying used cars, its hard to know what or who to believe. There are trustworthy sellers and dealerships, no doubt, but one can never be too careful. Buyers should always educate themselves before going out to buy a used car. This also means knowing whether certain information is correct or not. Of course, the best thing is to not take anything at face value and do a thorough inspection of the car. Nonetheless, a few debunked myths may help make the process a little easier for you.

1) A better trade-in price for your old car means a better deal for your new used car – Honestly, this is not always true because what you need to focus on is the total amount of money that you’re actually spending. If you get a better price for your old car from one dealer and then you pay a certain amount for the used car that you’re buying without discount then you’re not really getting a very good deal. Always look at the fine print. Keep the math simple – how much money is ultimately going out of your pocket?

2) Receipts don’t matter – Being an informed buyer means knowing that receipts do matter a lot. Whatever sellers or dealers tell you, don’t trust it until they can prove it with some documentation. If a car has been serviced, there obviously is some record of it. Moreover, you should also physically check for yourself that the servicing has been done – check the fluids, the brakes, the suspension and whatever else was supposed to have been serviced according to the seller/dealer.
