Buy A Good Used Car

As a licensed motor dealer in Brisbane, this is my car buying website.

I also sell cars.

So if you don’t buy your next car through me, and you don’t have much of a clue, then get learned up!

You see unlike many industries, the car trade has an unusual product.

The products we buy and sell are a few years old, have literally thousands of moving parts, are expensive, and can be very expensive to fix.

This is a part of the reason this trade has an average reputation.

Sometimes through no fault of the seller, things can – and do go wrong with cars.

For example a car I bought recently through a dealer auction was in great condition.

The mileage was low and I thought I bought at a good price.

After I had it mechanically inspected, cleaned up and prepared for sale, the gearbox went on it.

A new automatic gearbox (or in my case a reconditioned one) can cost thousands of dollars. In fact mine did.

So I lost money on this car.

It happens from time to time.

But this was a major flaw that was almost impossible to find in my buying process.

It was just bad luck.

But most defects with cars you are considering buying can be spotted with a keen and/or trained eye.

And by doing a few very simple pre-purchase checks, you can save yourself thousands.

It always amazes me some people buy cars without even driving them.

Whatever you do, make sure you test drive the car!

The ebook has a load of simple pre-purchase checks you can do to make sure the car you buy in Brisbane is a good one.

There’s lots of hints and tips of what to look out for that I use every time I buy a car.

Nothing is foolproof and you can’t help bad luck, but that is not what this book is about.

This book is about arming you with basic knowledge to avoid being ripped off and making a buying mistake you may not be able to afford.
