Getting the best used car: Advice from Consumer Reports

[bg1379]

The best advice for buying a used car?

BEFRIEND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEM.

There are too many sites, etc. with overwhelming information for the average lay person to make GOOD choice.

2009 bought my first brand new car..Subaru Impreza. Paid $17,450, Drove for more than 2 1/2 yrs.. 23k miles. Books for over $16k. Used cars are in high demand. Sometimes used ISN'T the way to go.

Car to stay away from-- BMW 335 HPFP failure and it WILL happen to matter what 335 a person buys. BMW 328 FTW :)

No i don't own one but forums give a lot of info :D

@hondaftw1234 The HPFP has a 120k mile warranty, and costs $300 if it fails out of warranty. A software update makes it so the LPFP primes the HPFP before startup, so it might not even be a problem after the update.
