If you buy a good used vehicle, you can save some serious money.

When shopping for a used car, Tracy Myers of Frank Myers Auto Maxx says your mechanic should be a part of the process.

“You should always consider taking any used car you are considering buying to an independent mechanic to have it looked at. If you have a relationship with a mechanic take it to them. They are usually going to charge anywhere between $50 and $125, depending on where you take it” said Tracy.

If the car turns out to be a lemon, that $100 or so can save thousands,.

Winston-Salem Auto Repair Can Protect You

While mechanics can make sure it’s in good shape mechanically by giving the car a thorough inspection, Tracy says it’s also important to know the history of the vehicle.

Vehicle history reports should be available at no cost from a reputable dealership or at a small cost online. And Tracy says they provide important information for the consumers to consider.

“However, there may be things that aren’t included in that report and that’s what consumers should keep in mind is. For example, if the owner didn’t file a police report or file an insurance claim after an an accident, it may not show up on that report,” said Tracy.

That’s another reason to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle prior to purchase.

Tracy also says those buying from a private owner, ask for the car’s maintenance and repair records Customers buying from a dealership should check out its reputation by “Googling” the dealers name. And, Tracy says finding financing should begin with people that know you.

“If you’re thinking about buying a car, you should always start  with somebody that actually knows you…like your bank. It’s also smart to shop around for an auto loan before you start  looking for or negotiating on a car. That way you’ll potentially get a better deal because those two negotiations can be done separately.”

Test driving the vehicle is also another important part of the process. Take it on the local roads and on the highways. Drive it with the air conditioning off and on. While it’s smart to test the radio and sound system,  it’s also a good idea to drive the vehicle with it off. That way you can listen for any bumps, rattles and noise that shouldn’t be there.

528,000 vehicles were recalled     today by Japanese automaker Honda due to a defect with the cylinder that holds brake fluid.

A Honda spokeswoman said that the defective cylinders were built by the same Ohio-based supplier, ADVICS, that was involved with the recall of 1.5 million Toyota vehicles worldwide to fix a brake fluid leak that it warned can gradually diminish braking performance.

“Our supplier is the one who actually notified us of the issue,” said Honda spokeswoman Christina Ra.

List Of Recalled Used Honda & Used Toyota Vehicles

The recall affects 2005 to 2007 model years of the Acura RL and Honda Odyssey vehicles built at Honda’s Saitama, Japan plant. It also affects the 2005 through 2006 Toyota Avalon, 2004 through 2006 Toyota Highlander (non Hybrid) and Lexus RX330, and 2006 Lexus GS300, IS250, and IS350 vehicles.

The bulk of the affected vehicles were exported to the United States.

There have been no accidents or injuries related to the defect, Ra said.

Honda said its recall was to “prevent the unlikely failure of a seal in the brake master cylinder.”

The seal could fail if factory-installed brake fluid is replaced with substandard brake fluids that have “reduced lubrication properties.”

If that were to happen, the low brake fluid warning lamp would light up, Honda said.

It cautioned that “failure to repair the master cylinder seal would eventually result in a soft brake pedal and the possible loss of one of the two hydraulic braking circuits.”

Toyota spokesman Paul Nolasco said that the majority of (Toyota) vehicles this time around need to be fixed for a problem with the brake master cylinder which could lead to weaker braking power.
