Buying a car can be a smart idea - a car loses the lion's share of its value when it is driven off the new car lot, so why let someone else take that loss? But buyer beware: A used car is likely to need more repairs and may come with a short warranty or none at all. In addition, used cars may lack the latest safety features. That is why it is so important for consumers to do extensive research so they can avoid all of the potential pitfalls of buying a used car. The auto experts at "Consumer Reports" have done the work for you and have compiled their extensive research and report their findings into the 2007 edition of USED CAR BUYING GUIDE. This fabulous tool will help steer any consumer who is in the market for a used car towards the better-performing and more reliable used car models and away from those models with a troubled past or substandard performance.
