Not New Car

I’m currently on the hunt for a new car. Not because I want one, but unfortunately because I need one. My last car was written off in an accident that wasn’t my fault. Well, I like to say it wasn’t my fault. It depends who you ask. The other party is adamant it was my fault. Taking the never-ending insurance debate out of it, I now need to find a new car. Looking at cars is somehow a lot less fun when it’s something you need to do. Usually, I’d be scouring the internet for various types of luxury sports cars, but now I’m just looking at pieces of junk while hoping for the best. All I know is that there is no way I’m getting any car without having a pre-purchase inspection done first. There are so many dodgy people on the internet and working in used car yards. I’m definitely getting a second opinion.

I’ve just heard so many horror stories about people buying used cars and then discovering all these issues with only a week’s worth of driving. Then it’s a matter of good luck trying to get in touch with the person who sold it to you! They’ve always either moved away, had their phone number disconnected, shut their garage down or blame the new owner for the car troubles. I’ve already spent enough money on this accident – I’m not prepared to spend even more repairing a car that was already in poor condition. That’s why I’m getting a trustworthy mechanic near Morayfield to inspect any vehicle before I purchase it.

I think I have found a car I like. It’s in decent condition and doesn’t have too much mileage. The owner is only selling because they currently have two vehicles and simply need to rid themselves of one due to moving to a new home that doesn’t have room for two cars. I can’t notice any real cosmetic issues with the car, and everything sounded in working order on the test drive. Guess I’ll wait and see what the mechanic says.
