What would you recommend a first time buyer of a new or pre-owned vehicle?

Question:


Answers:

Jeep wrangler or Mini Cooper?

First of all, I strongly recommend buying used instead of new if you can. This is because cars depreciate in value and they depreciate the most in the first year or two. In fact, a brand new car will lose up to 20% of its value the second you drive it off the dealer's lot. So it makes much more sense to buy a car that is one or two years old that is still in good condition and has already taken the huge hit in depreciation; it will save you thousands of dollars. Most dealerships have "certified used" vehicles which have gone through a number of tests and inspection to make sure it is good as new, and they often come with warranties, too, so check them out.

How do I find my car's value using the VIN?

If you do choose to buy used, make sure to do your homework to make sure you get a good deal on a good vehicle. Check Consumer Reports magazine's used car ratings to find out which cars have the best reliability ratings; this way you can avoid models that have a history of problems. If you are interested in a particular car model, consult the Kelley Blue Book (www.kbb.com) or Edmunds.com's Fair Market Value to find out the value of the car to make sure you get a fair deal. Finally, make sure to get a CARFAX report (www.carfax.com) of the particular car you intend to buy to make sure the car is in good working condition, hasn't been in an accident, hasn't had the odometer rolled back, etc. It costs about $20 and will save yourself from dishonest sellers who try to cheat you into buying a lemon, which could cost hundreds to thousands of dollars in repairs, so it is definitely worth it.

What is the best kind of truck to buy?

Buy from an individual who was dumb enough to buy a car new off the lot and save THOUSANDS--a dealer has built in profits that are absurd--and somebody getting low ball offers on trade ins will sell you a car at well below the dealer lot prices!

Could you estimate market shares of the v-belt main brands? (Which brands?)?

depends on budget and what type of car you like coupe salon 4x4 so on.
Just remember your first car you are still really learning to drive if you havent been driving long so dont get anything that your gonna cry about if you scratch or bump it.
If you have been driving a while then choose a few you like then test drive them as all drive and look different then you imagine.
Best really to give a budget and experience for a deff true answer.
