I bought a used car a while ago but it was from a dealer. Now I’m looking to get a used bike from a private seller. Its a relatively new bike, so most likely it hasn’t been paid off. Should I even have to worry about paying the seller, and then having problems with the dealership/bank the original buyer bought/financed the bike from?

I bought a used car from a dealership, got home and realized that they did not do a current inspection and the inspection sticker is expired. Can they do that?

Apparently, there are rules to this little site. So, let me edit my question appropriately as so not to offend anybody. I’m 19 and I have basically no credit. I want to try and get a used car, but I am unsure what would be the best way to do so, seeing as most car dealers require good credit and/or a cosigner. Is there anything I can do right now, or do I just need to wait until my credit score goes up?

I am considering buying a 2008 toyota corolla with 15000 miles from a used car dealership. I was wondering if the manufacturers warranty still applies for this car. Toyota give a basic warranty of 3 years/36000 miles and 5 years 60,000 miles.

Thanks for your help!

I often wonder how a used car dealer values a car on his lot. Does he just pull a price out of the air and hope someone pays him that or is there a precise algorithm he uses?

I’ve never had any of the used cars I’ve bought inspected and haven’t had any problems but I’m helping my buddy buy his first car and I think it would be a good idea. What should I tell him to ask the mechanic?
I’m in No Cal (Northern California)

What is the optimum condition for a used car – where the drop in price and risk of problems is at it’s best?

Here’s what I mean: the greatest reason for buying new is that you know the complete history of the car and you won’t have any unexpected problems. So when is the right time to buy a used car? Those of you who buy them regularly, do you buy at 15k miles, 20k miles? One year old, or two years old – what has worked for you?
