car title change?

well, i would mot buy online without test driving it and looking at it. I would try to find a seller, private, not a dealer, to buy from. When u test drive it, take it on the highway.. or if not, have it reach about 75 mph and see what it feels like, if its a little unstable, or if it begins to make any unusual noises, or anything other than what you should see, its usualy a bad car. also, let it run, for like 15-20 minutes, soo if it overheats. check all the features like AC, like my old car used to overheat when ac was turned on and make sure it does not happen. Check all the lights, seatbelts, features (ac, heater, windsheild wiper, doors/locks and like things you press or pull to open the trunk(if its a sedan).open teh hood, and check it, see how the engine is, you probably dont know much about it, but you will see if theres somethig wrong, place your hand over teh engine and see to make sure its not getting to hot after about 15 minutes. make sure its starts easily and doesnt jolt or do anything unusual or shake a little. and test it on turns (sharp turns if possible), and when ur driving come to any stop, and stay with the car in gear, and with your foot on the brake and see and make sure that it doesnt stall. make sure the spare tire and all the necesary tools for it are there. make sure it backs up (some cars dont). try to turn the wheel all the way when parked. and see if anything happens. try to make a uturn with it, and make sure nothing unusual happens

Finding a car online is fine but I would still look at it first before I buy. That's why when you shop online for cars you put in your ZIP code to get places near you to look at. There is a yahoo car finder here http://painintheexhaust.blogspot.com... to do some car/area looking.

For 4K, in the used car market, you should be able to buy a very nice car. Avoid individual sellers and try the very small ran down car lots.

Yes I Will Win?


These type of car dealers are usually struggle for day to day survival. They have nothing to do with the quality of the car they get, they simply get them from auction lots with what they have, but, sometimes, they will get very good cars even though they have no clues.

"fair market value"?


To determine the car quality is your job. You look the appearance for signs of fine care from previous owners.
You then check for the strength of power train by start, speed up, listening the engine sound, and the transmission linearity (it should accelerate linearly when you depress the paddle)
You then check the appearance of engine under the hood, this give you the clue of frequent touch up or rarely needing care.

Finally, you check the fluids:

1. oil dip stick - oil can be dirty, but never foaming. absolutely no moisture creamy foam-like mixture inside the oil pan. If the oil is dirty, no problem.
2. check the transmission dip stick and look for fluid level and color of the transmission fluid. Dirty transmission fluid is a warning sign.
3. check for window washer fluid, radiator fluid for previous owner's diligence

which r ur favourite websites?


Do not care too much how dirty the car is inside or out. You will wash the car inside and out after you bought it. I will strip everything include all the seats, front and back, trunks and wash the car inside, and seats with pressure soapy water repeatedly until it is clean and order free.

Then I will put all the seats back and let few days or weeks to completely dry.

Then you have your next clean new used car under 4k.
