Conclusion
Having gleaned every scrap of useful and hard-earned information from my aging, road-weary noggin, you are now in a position to go forth and put it to good use!
All of the advice offered in this Blueprint is the product of my experience in the auto trade for over 20 years. The decision whether to buy a particular car is always somewhat subjective, and therefore subject to many opinions and opinators. However as you’ve learned, there are some universal guidelines to follow and as the value of the car increases from several hundred dollars to thousands and tens of thousands of dollars, a minor fault can become a very costly major fault.
Do not walk yourself into a corner by insisting “this one’s for me,” and ignoring thousands upon thousands of other cars for sale. Not only do you run the risk of buying a wreck, but you also weaken your bargaining hand. If it’s as clear as day to the seller that you really want the car, he will go into financial lockdown and you’ll find yourself paying just too much for the car.
I hope you have found this Blueprint useful, and it’s my sincere wish to protect you from all of the nasty, painful, and sometimes shameful tricks that the average seller can inflict on the mechanically-challenged car buyer. I wish you many years of happy motoring with your future purchase, and I hope you can use these techniques to find a car you really love – at a price you can love too!
All the best for now,
