Making a Poor Decision
• The process of buying a used car can be a

just not sure how the previous owner used the
car.

good car that saves you lots of money.

• You need to like the driving experience of a car
before you commit.
• This is especially important if you are buying a
fancy car with new features that are not in

5. Have everything in writing
• Don’t make agreements with the dealer or
owner without having it in writing.
• Ensure that everything you agree on is
reflected on the contract before you sign on
the line.

6. Know how much you can afford
• It’s important to know what type of car you
can afford especially if you’ll be looking for
auto financing.
• Start by shopping for the loan first before you
even set out to buy a car. It will help you to
remain within your budget.

7. Go through the inspection report
• Once the car has been inspected, go through
the report to understand any underlying
issues it might have before you buy.
• You can ask your mechanic to break it down
for you in a way you can understand.
