Lemon Check" will provide the vehicle history by running the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) through a thorough check.

Using these resources and comparing the information gathered to local dealer web sites and pre-owned vehicle publications will give you a solid basis for making a reasonable and educated offer on a pre-owned vehicle. These guidelines also apply to private sales, although you should be aware that most of these vehicles are sold "as is" and the sale is final. Again, online research will reveal the vehicle's history.

With the progress being made at the dealership level with pre-owned vehicles, buying a "nearly new" car has become a practical option. Combined with the numerous reputable online services providing insider information much of the uncertainty traditionally associated with preowned cars has been eliminated. With patience and thorough research, you can avoid paying too much and will leave a dealer or private sale with an excellent vehicle.

Whether you buy a pre-owned car from a dealer, a co-worker, or a neighbor, follow these tips to learn as much as you can about the car:

• Examine the car yourself using an inspection list. You can find a checklist in many of the magazine articles, books and Internet sites that deal with buying a pre-owned car.

• Talk to the previous owner if possible, especially if the present owner is unfamiliar with the car's history

TIPS FOR BUYING A PRE-OWNED CAR

• Decide what type of vehicle meets your needs.

•Locate a pre-owned car from a local dealer's classified ads, or through online classified services. This will provide you with available vehicles and prices in your area.

•Look up the "Kelly Blue Book" value, and be prepared to negotiate the price.

• You may want to run a Carfax Record Check on the car. Before you buy, simply type in the VIN into their form and you will see if it has been stolen, in an accident, had the speedometer tampered with, number of owners, etc. This step can save you thousands of dollars. Visit Carfax. com for details.

• Buying from a dealer? Look for the Buyers Guide. It's required by a federal regulation called the Used Car Rule.

• Make sure all oral promises are written into the Buyers Guide.

• You have the right to see a copy of the dealer's warranty before you buy. Warranties are included in the price of the production; service contracts cost extra and are sold separately

• If you buy a car "as is," you'll have to pay for anything that goes wrong after the sale. The Used Car Rule generally doesn't apply to private sales.

• Figure out your auto insurance costs up front. Don't wait until the last minute to find out that insurance costs are too high. Once you have an idea of what you want you can get an insurance quote from your agent.

• Protect your vehicle with an extended warranty. It makes good sense! It is one of the few insurance policies you can buy where you get your money's worth.

The Top Four Things You Should Know...

• Keep in mind the reputation of the dealership for honesty and integrity whenever looking at new or pre-owned vehicles.

•Test drive the car under varied road conditions - on hills, highways, and in stop-and-go traffic.

• Ask for the car's maintenance record. If it's not available, contact the dealership or repair shop where most of the work was done.

• Have the car inspected by the mechanic of your choice. If you are thinking of buying a preowned vehicle, it's important to shop around for the vehicle you want, beginning with a local business that you trust.
