There's a lot more to getting a good deal on a used Ford
than simply negotiating with the car dealer or private seller. Being
prepared, and doing your research and homework can all translate into
money saved in the end on your pre-owned Ford.
Used Ford cars are
typically less expensive, but have more risk associated with buying. You
should take the pre-owned Ford car you would like to buy into a garage for
a mechanic to give it a diagnostic check prior to paying for it. This
check will prevent you from purchasing a "lemon" Ford, and is definitely
worth the money.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Used Car Rule
requires dealers to post a Buyers Guide in every used Ford car they offer
for sale. The Buyers Guide must tell you:
• whether the used Ford is
being sold "as is" or with a warranty
• what percentage of the repair
costs a dealer will pay under the warranty
• that spoken promises are
difficult to enforce
• to get all promises in writing
• to keep the
Buyers Guide for reference after the you buy the Ford for sale
• the
major mechanical and electrical systems on the used Ford car, including
some of the major problems you should look out for
• to ask to have the
pre-owned Ford car inspected by an independent mechanic before you
buy.
When purchasing a used Ford
car it's best to have a mechanic look at it. If you don't want to spend
the extra money on the mechanic, check it yourself.
Make sure
everything works in the used Ford. Radio, heater, windshield wipers,
cigarette lighter, rear window defogger, and horn. Test the headlights,
taillights, flashers, backup lights, brake lights, turn signals, and
parking lights. Check for proper seatbelt operation.
The Ford brakes.
While driving the Ford cars at 30 to 40 mph, being certain there is no one
behind you, apply the brakes three or four times. If you get a consistent
pull, either left or right, while the brakes are being applied, there is a
problem with the pre-owned Ford.
The Ford tires. Check the tread for
depth of wear, the tire sizes for matching, and for any other obvious
damage. All the used Ford car tires should be evenly worn. Uneven wear
could mean neglect, abuse, improper wheel alignment or bent front-end
components.
Under the hood. Check all hoses. Examine the battery for
leaks, and check the oil dipstick. If the used Ford car has an automatic
transmission, check the transmission fluid to see if it is dark colored or
has a burned odor.
