How to Avoid a Used Car with Problems

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is John Michaels with Expert Village; today we are going to be talking about how to buy a used car. In this segment we are going to talk about avoiding a lemon. You don’t want to get stuck with a car that breaks down a lot, so finding out about any service records and finding out whether the car has been in an accident, finding out how the car was before you got it is a real good indicator of whether or not you will purchase yourself a lemon. Don’t forget to look for all those issues and small little things that could cause your car to break down continuously. In some states they offer a lemon law warranty on a new car, so if there are problems with that car when it was new, it should have been taken off the market before it comes to you as a used car but that is not true in all states. So buyer beware, make sure that you really do some investigative work to find out whether or not your car is the quality that you are looking for or is it just another lemon. "
