Cheap car sales can sometimes be just that – cheap.

If you have been in the market for cheap car sales and are considering where you should buy from, either a car dealer or a private owner, there are several things you should consider before you buy.

Most people today are honest, but you need to worry about those who are not. Buying from a private owner has more risks than buying from a dealership. Here are a couple of points for you to consider before you make your purchase.

• Financing: Unless you have the cash up front, you will need to finance the car. Using a dealership, you can use their financing department to finance you vehicle.

• Certified used cars: A dealership will first inspect and make any repairs to a used car before it hits the lot to ensure that it is in good operating condition. A private owner isn’t likely to do that.

• Warranty: Most dealerships, depending on the mileage will offer a short warranty on the vehicle and give you so many days to return the vehicle. Check the dealership’s policy before you buy.
