Cheap doesn't necessarily mean effective. Don't buy a cheap car that would cost you 300000- 600000 in maintenance whereas your income averages 2 million yearly.


if you are buying to sell later. consider buying cars with good second-hand value like Toyota, Honda.



If a car 2012 model has a mileage of 60,000 by 2017, this would be considered good for you to buy. However, if the same car has a mileage of 110,000 or more, avoid buying such a car.


Do a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) check: This verifies if it’s a salvaged vehicle as well as the type and extent of the damage. It also discloses the actual mileage to prevent you from buying a car that reads 65,000 miles on the odometer while the actual mileage is 250,000 miles.


Why are they selling? This is a major question that prevents you from buying problems.
Many people will say they want to relocate or upgrade. Do your due diligence. Don't swallow everything you are told.

Verify the documents so you some buy a smuggled or stolen car.

If the price is too good to be true, something is definitely up. Except you are buying from sellers who desperately need to raise cash.

Save yourself the stress and carry along a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.


Hope this helps you.
