Tips on Buying a Used Car
by: Federal Trade Commission

Tips on Buying a USED Car:

  1. Look for a Buyers Guide in the window of the car. The Buyers Guide discloses any warranties with the car.
  2. If possible, have a mechanic inspect the car before you buy. Paying a mechanic $40 or $50 to look at the car could save you thousands.
  3. If the car is more than 6 years old or 75,000 miles, it can be sold "as-is". You must be provided a form informing you that the car is sold "as-is" or without any warranties. You assume all risks. If the car breaks down the next day, the dealer has no responsibility to fix it.

If you believe you have been a victim of an auto-related fraud, contact the Attorney General's Office.
