By Scott Peterson


Buying a used car always comes with certain risks. Many of them have high mileage, which indicates that the moving parts of that car or truck will probably show signs of wear and tear. The years of use and sometimes neglect, will show in the engine faster than that of a newer car with fewer miles on the odometer. When the time comes to replace the most important part of the vehicle, you may want to consider checking into remanufactured engines.

Anytime you consider buying a used vehicle, it is smart to put up some extra cash in case of repairs. If the car or truck is older than ten years and has over two hundred thousand miles on the engine will most likely need repair soon.

Most repairs are affordable but some will put a hurting on your check book and savings account. There should be extra money for repairs, insurance and possibly inspections, just in case of a repair emergency.

It is suggested that you take the used car to a mechanic before buying. An experience mechanic can often tell you exactly what is wrong, how long it will take and how much it will cost. If there are problems will the main components, such as the transmission, the mechanic can offer advice and tell you what options you must make the repairs or replacements.

After the inspection, it may be possible to do some of the repairs yourself. There are many manuals and websites that can assist you if you are not highly experienced in mechanical work. Changing the oil, replacing brake pads and discs are just a couple of examples of repairs that are more affordable to do yourself.

Depending on the make and model of the car, you may even need to find one that specializes in your type of vehicle needs.
