Choose the right used car model
Some models are more reliable than others, so do your research and find out what type of cars have the best track records for longevity and maintenance. When looking for a reliable used car, keep in mind the prevalence of that model. If you choose a model that is more common, it will be easier to find used auto parts for any repairs you may need down the road.
Run a background check
Look, you wouldn’t hire someone off the street without running a background check on them, so why would you purchase a car you know nothing about? After all, you’re auditioning this car to be your ride-or-die, your constant companion, your home-away-from-home! There are lots of ways to get the backstory on a car these days using the VIN number found on the driver side door jamb, like CarFax.
