What to keep in mind when buying a car

Buying a car is an exciting but daunting task, especially if you don’t know much about cars. For many people, a car is a status symbol so you want to purchase a car that looks the part, runs smoothly and is a good deal for your budget.

If you don’t do your homework well, it is easy to end up in a money pit. This is especially true of second-hand cars that may have hidden faults that will require you to spend more than you had anticipated on repairs and spare parts.
