As I speak I am just sharing my experince which might be useful to someone who is coming for the first time and want to purchase a car to carry out his living smoothly:).
I don't deny there are definitely smarter people than me :) but yes this is again MY experience...and can/cannot be used as a guide.Dont fix me up for this writeup...
I assume followng holds true for the newcomer:->
1. Is finanacially not very strong in terms of purchainsg the car(0< car value <6-8 grand maxxx)
2. Looking for a used car (given the budget above) .... A car which should not create a problem of whatsoever sorts & does not reqire service/maintenance...having read this just now someone asked me "Realllyy can you get it" Me=>"offcourse not" Be prepared to exercise your judgement/risk-taking skills here ....as i am sure most of you dont even know what an engine looks like or how many cylinders it carries.
3. Wants the best car of town(wishful thinker like me given the budget).
4.Is not having license of US either.
So here you go:-
1. Look for the used cars in craiglist(by owner/dealer both)...follow your car for some time atleast a week
2. Simultaneously look for the cars value in KellyBlueBook (bheb--site) /.....yeah you got it right its a website.
3. The care which matches the price of KBB & The craiglist posting is the right pricing of the car..
4. Now "the car you want" if you dont know i can helep here....
If you are getting all the cars within your budget in craiglist having very high miles apply this logic.
0-50k--any car is good
50-80k---Nissan Sentra/Hyundai sonata/Ultima(if you get one)/Hyundai Elantra/There might be more to this list but i am hanging on here.
80k and above--->Look for Honda Accord/Civic/CRV or Toyota Camry/Corolla only...
(V6 engine is generally more re-selleable item comapred to V4.
And always go for Automatic transmisson instead of manual transmission..Agar apnai car india waaley ghar lekar nahin jaani hai)
5. Once you have zeroed on your car ask for its VIN number from the owner or dealer and look for its CARFAX report (Voilaa what is carfax??)....Carfax (portal) stores all the history of vehicles(if reported)....
Mainly check for salvation/damage/accidents/restored run through Carfax on this Vin Number and if report looks good (before you say its good scan for all possible mysterious and horrifying words of Angrezi/english which can happen to a car like accident...you must have learnt this word by now and damage etc.. etc...)then you are good too....
6. If possible look out for a mechanic nearby your place..who can do a mechanic check of the car (for some dollars offcourse there is nothing like free lunch here my dear friend :)..
7. After you are done with Carfax check and (if possible) mechanic check
you can go for this car....and can purchase it....
Dont review this document please :) I was just feeling bored while working so though of writing this quickly in half an hour......
Thanks for reading..
Enjoy your ride...
