How to buy a good car

From MKRD.info Wiki

First, buy a car from my Smaller Car portal


Options that you should look for:

  • ABS, ESC, power windows, remote for security and safety.
  • Service needed notification (oil life, etc)
  • Go for a model year that is five years old (2005+ model year currently). Cars are unusable after about 10 years (everything starts to break down), so that will give you 5 years without major headaches.
  • Anything more than 50-75k miles will probably be no longer covered by relevant warranties.
  • Any warranty other than the manufacturers' is good.


Options that are expensive, but sometimes worth the money

  • Certified used car. You pay for an inspection, tuneup, and a warranty complimentary to the manufacturer's. Gives you a little insurance that you are not buying a lemon.
  • AWD
  • GPS
  • ESC
  • Remote start
