Review of the Best online used car sites:Buying a used car can be a dauting task for most of us since there are so many parts and features that we know nothing about. We've all heard horror stories of friends or family buying a used car to only have it breakdown soon after. The new online websites for used cars are an excellent weapon to combat getting a lemon. After completely researching the used car market online, we came up with 3 winners. The top sites (not necessarily in order) are: 1. Carmax.com - They offer used car information in the majority of the states with used car dealers. 2. Autotrader is a well recognized name if you want to buy/sell a used car. Before the internet, they offered local magazines with car listings and now they have a great website with used car listings for all types. 3. Kelly Blue Book shows up here as the #1 resource online for used car information as well as a large network of car dealers for used cars. You can research categories, makes, models, years, etc and come up with something that fits your taste and budget.
What is the best used car parts site?:When you buy a used car, expect some repairs eventually. At that point, you will need a good site for finding used car parts. We can recommend a few: Uneedapart.com has dealers and used car part stores in all states, Car-part.com boasts 83 million car parts for used cars listed on their site. Even Ebay has a huge section of their Auto site dedicated to used car parts.
How do I check a cars history?:Carfax is a great resource for checking the history of used cars. Their service allows you to get unlimited Vehicle History Reports for $24.99. Get information on crash test results, safety recalls, reliability ratings, operating cost estimates as well as the more serious issues of accidents or odometer fraud that is reported on the car you may be looking at. CARFAX searches its nationwide database and provides a detailed vehicle history report in seconds. Just enter the VIN #.
Buy/Sell used Cars on Ebay Motors:Ebay is a proven marketplace for all types of good and now the Ebay Motors section is first rate. They list 1000's of used cars from all over the US. Buy or sell Mercedes, Honda, Toyotas, VW's, Chevrolets, GM, Ford, Kia, etc. Often, it is hard to located the used car you want in your area, so a site like Ebay Motors is a great resource to see what is our there. You can get detailed information on the site with pictures, Carfax reports, dealer reports, and user feedback. We strongly recommend you use the Carfax service with any used car you buy to check the used cars history (accidents, totals, flood damage, etc). You can even buy insurance on used cars offered on Ebay to make sure you don't get stuck with a lemon.
What is the value of my used car?:The Kelly Blue Book site is an excellent source for finding out your used cars value. It's located at Kbb.com. They list every car made with options for every year. Just type in your cars specs and get a pretty good idea of what kind of money it's worth. Edmunds.com and Nadaguides.com are 2 more sites that offer used car pricing. So, whether you want to buy a used car or sell your own used car, start with Kelly Blue Book to see what you are looking at.
