Buing a used car

After read those data about buying a car, I think it's too troublesome to use a car although it's useful.
You need to consider carefully before you buy a car. You have to think about the costs of a car which include the price, the extra costs and the fuel costs.
If you have decided to buy a car, you should make sure the color and the size of a car. Then you can go car dealers to find a car or find it through the newspaper and search online.
When you want the car, you should do something before you want the car. The important thing you should be careful is that don’t just see the car you want and give the owner or dealer the amount of money they are asking for. It’s very easy duped. You have to do those things:
1. Negotiate the price.
2. Sign a conditional document.
3. Pay a small deposit.
4. Get a mechanical check.
If you are buying privately (not from a dealer and not from an auction)
5. Check the car ownership with REVS.
6. Ask to see the Registration Certificate of the car and the seller's ID.
7. Check the chassis or VIN number and the engine number.
8. Check that the car has a recent (within the last 28 days) Roadworthy Certificate.
After finish the trading , you have to pay four more things which are stamp duty, transfer, registration, insurance, safety certificate/ roadworthiness certificate.
You really need be careful when you are buying a car.
