(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 31, 2011 ) Colorado Springs, CO -- The Used Cars Colorado Springs website recently launched with an informational page telling consumers what to look for when buying a used car. The guidelines help consumers examine obvious features like the body and tires. It also suggests potential buyers look at the less-than-noticeable trouble spots.
According to webmaster Dan Morton, “It’s no secret that consumers are bilked out of tens of millions of dollars a year because they buy a used car based on the flawless exterior or a specific brand name. If you don’t want to buy a lemon, you you really have to check out the car beyond the basic test drive. That’s what this article is all about. ”
Among some of the points raised on the site:
* Why is the person selling the car? The Used Cars Colorado Springs site suggests that most people have legitimate reasons for getting rid of a car. But according to the site, “It might be a suspicious situation when someone is selling a car that they just bought a few days or weeks ago – because they ‘don’t like the color. ‘“
* Always look at the tires. The condition of the tires can tell a story about the cars suspension and alignment. Used Cars Colorado Springs recommends consumers look for tires that are partially worn, but look even all the way around. The site explains, “If the outsides are more worn than the insides, the car is out of alignment.”
* Check out whatÂ’s going on under the hood. According to the website, consumers can avoid a lot of headache by examining fluid levels, colors and smells. Hoses and belts should be viewed to see if thereÂ’s excessive wear. If there are oil stains underneath the car they suggest itÂ’s probably not worth buying.
The BestUsedCarsColoradoSprings.com website provides consumers with advice to help them make the best decision about their used car purchase. The site encourages users to shop through dealerships they believe are reputable.
