Used cars, also known as a pre-owned vehicles and second hand cars are vehicles that has previously had one or more owners. Used cars are sold through franchise and independent dealers, rental car companies, leasing companies, auctions and private sales.


Used Cars Sales are As-is sales
Almost every private used car sale is an "as-is" sale. What you see is what you get so a used car buyer should do all their research before buying used cars.Used car dealers operate under specific laws which grant the used car buyer some additional protection mainly the requirement warranties on used cars.Used cars supplied by dealers have a statutory warranty according to the system of laws of the European Union, the so-called "Liability for defects”.


Research a used cars history
In the United States, an estimated 34-percent of consumers (in 2006) are buying vehicle history reports for used cars. Vehicle history reports are an inexpensive way to check the track record of used cars. Vehicle history reports provide customers with a detailed record based on the cars serial number (VIN). These reports will indicate items of public record, such as colour change, mileage fraud and recalls. They may indicate minor/moderate collision damage or improper vehicle maintenance. An attempt to identify vehicles which have been previously owned by hire car rental agencies, police and emergency services or taxi fleets is also made. However, consumers should research vehicles carefully, as these reporting services only report the information to which they have access.


Sources of a Used Cars History
Vehicle History Reports are available from the following
· Autocheck, HPI, Mycarcheck

All used cars supplied by UsedcarTakeaway are supplied with a used car history report supplied by Hpi free of charge.


The above is not a list of where to buy or obtain a report as there are many resellers of these reports, check the internet for the best deals searching for ‘used cars history check’.
An often overlooked avenue is the previous owner of the used car. The seller, particularly the original owner should have service and repair records - great information to show the value and remove doubt in the mind of potential buyers. Services like DriverSide in the United States and DriveArchive in the United Kingdom are trying to create tools to help car owners track this service information.


Vehicle History Reports
There is much confusion about the availability of "free vehicle history reports" or "free Carfax reports." None of the vehicle history reporting services in any of the countries listed above offer the service for free. Several of the services, most notably those in the United Kingdom and the United States, sell reports to dealers and then encourage the dealers to display the reports on their Internet sites. These reports are paid for by the dealer and then offered for free to potential buyers of the vehicle.


Research used cars pricing

When researching used cars price, you'll typically find three kinds of prices:
· Dealer or Retail Price is the price you should expect to pay if buying from a licensed new-car or used-car dealer — retail price. Dealer prices will always be the highest listed because of the dealership’s need to make a profit.
· Dealer Trade-in Price or wholesale price is the price you should expect to receive from a dealer if you trade in a car. This is also the price that a dealer will typically pay for a car at a dealer wholesale auction.
· Private-Party Price is the price you should expect to pay if you were buying from an individual. A private-party seller is hoping to get more money than they would with a trade-in to a dealer. A private-party buyer is hoping to pay less than the dealer retail price for the used car.


The growth of the Internet has fueled the availability of information on the prices of used cars. Whereas this information was once only available in trade publications that dealers had access to, there are now numerous sources for used cars pricing. Multiple sources of used cars pricing means that the prices you get from different sources often won't agree with each other. This is a result of each pricing guide receiving data from different sources and making different judgments about that data. The best way to determine a price is to cross-check prices with multiple sources and add a dose of your own good judgment to arrive at your price.


Pricing of used cars can be effected by geography and time of the year; generally a convertible has a much higher demand in summer than in winter. Similarly used cars in rural areas tend to be higher priced than from dealers in city areas due to competition. Condition – Is the car in excellent, good or fair condition – has a major impact on pricing. Condition is based on appearances, vehicle history, mechanical condition and mileage. There is much subjectivity in how the condition of a car is evaluated.
