Hi everyone on here, I just got my G2 License. And now I'm ready to jump into the automotive world. I was just wondering what experiences you've all had buying used cars and what things to look out for when buying one. Thanks!

G2? Is that like Alberta's Class 5?

it all depends on what car you are looking at. different cars age in different ways. some have huge rust problems, others its mechanical. it all depends. find a car you like then ask specifically about that one. but in general there is nothing wrong with buying used.

Research the car you are interested in and find out what is a fair price. DO NOT GET HOSED!!!!!!!!!
(not that I did on my car but on other car related things):banghead:

DO NOT buy the first car you look at.


Look at a bunch of the model you looking for to compare the condition of them. Also, find an internet forum of the specific model you looking at and ask them what to look out for.
