Robert Taylor Avatar



Whether you are buying from a dealership, private seller, or auction you'll still need to make a plan when it comes to buying used cars and dealing with the people who sell them. – What is your budget?
o Where do you want to start
o Where do you want to end?
o What skills do you have
o How can you save money?
o How can you sell parts/pieces
– Things to look out for at a glance
o Fresh oil
o Freshly cleaned engine bay
o Clear title
o Test drive if possible
o Parts availability
o Entry and Exit of market
o CAN YOU DO THE WORK
– When digging deeper
o Check body mounts for rust/wear
o Check suspension mounts for rust/integrity (2nd gen F-bodys especially)
o LOOK ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND FORUMS How are you buying?
– Auction
o Potential to win or lose
o Site like eBay and Bring a Trailer offer easy purchasing
o Can get screwed in fees or the car itself
– Dealer
o Dealers make commission
o Good dealers will inspect cars ~ @Maple Motors Muscle Cars Nick Southgate – Private Party
o Usually get the best price without fees
o Deal directly with the owner of the vehicle
o Shady owners and car flippers dilute the pool ______________________________________________________________
