There are some steps advised by my good friend to find a good car, I might want to share, if you agree with him or not.
You must know what age range of your car you are looking for; and the price range you can offer.
If you have a brand that is in your mind, check out the kelly blue book online, to find out at least what is the fair market price on that car, in comparison to the dealer or private party. Don't overpaid to those people.
If everything seems fine, and you want know more about the background of your vehicle you are about to purchase, spend $20 for the fee on carfax.com, to see if the vehicle is ever in accident, or does it have big repair in the past?
Finally, find a private mechanic to check the purchase condition as they stated as it is.
Everything checks out, you get yourself a good car.

Also i leraned from selling cars always go lower than asking price ! Something else also is never buy a car that was made on a MON or FRI simply because of the human element !
On Mondays everyone is hung over from weekends and have those Mon morning blues
FRI is pay day and they all want to cash thier checks and go home amd then go out and PARTYIEEEEEEEEEEE !
TO find day of week YOU contact the plant or dealer with the VIN number ask for the exact date it was born on ! Then go to wiskit.com enter that date and it will show what day of week car was born on !

The human nature, what are you gonna do? haha.
Never would have thought of it that way, Sportsbuzzydot.com.
How would you know if it was made on a monday or friday? Ask the manager?

Great! I like these tips. Not sure about the last one though. Finding a private mechanic to check the car before buying it. Unless you know a friend who's a top-notch mechanic, you might end up spending a lot more buying the car having to pay another heap to hire a private mechanic.

No, I think there is mechanic who is willing to help you check the condition of the car if you can bring that car to them before you buying it. Once, there is a buyer also done the same when he is about to buy my friend's car. He told us to follow him to this auto precision tune place, and had that mechanic check for him. He didn't pay it much though.
