I'm in the process of buying a new car and I came across this really
useful site where I got the following from:
http://www.BuyingAdvice.com

A comprehensive researched list of reliable used cars can be useful to
the used car buyer.

We suggest finding a one-owner used car, that has been cared for, it
has its service records (that show they changed oil on schedule and
maintained basic manufacturer recommended service per the owner's
manual) and ideally, owned by someone who is more stable like a senior
citizen, than say a teenager. The reason is that odds are that a more
experienced and stable person is going to maintain service.

The vehicle should have a clear CarFax record. I would look
nationally, because this type of vehicle is going to be hard to find,
and ideally use a service like CarChex or a mechanic to inspect the
vehicle before you buy it -- (to help spot upcoming repairs).

Good insight. I'm looking for a new car myself and even considering
trading mine in.
Do you know where I can find a reliable unbiased blog or site on tips
about carloans, dealership tactics, etc.?
thanx.

I doubt many on this group will have any tips on buying cars in Argentina.

May want to check on your alter ego. You just just responded to your
own spam.

good for you buddy...

this is just simple seo, no spam, as it will not trascend into
something larger like a farm... in any case, an insightful and really
informative source for car buying tips, car loans, calculator and such
is indeed http://www.BuyingAdvice.com and I go back and forth from
here to the US, as I have all my family living there, so next time,
reserve it.

So why did you respond to your own spam?

You can congratulate me also as I just reported both your email
addresses and your Google Usenet account.

You can have a little talk about SEO with Google about this.

I was advising a friend that if they want a used car and they like the
one they're driving is to get another maybe with fewer miles and/or
restored. Or with a problem that your car just had fixed. Cheap deal.
If you've already happy with your mechanic he can do the work, maybe
store the spare parts for you.
And if you are familiar with the model, test driving should spot things
that aren't "normal" sounds, cornering and general "feel"
Good luck.
