Re: Buying a Used car with cash
If you're at all mechanically inclined, or know someone that is, you'll generally do better with a private party then a typical used car lot. Private party's dont have a markup for overhead or comissioned sales sharks.
If you do go the lot route I'd really suggest sticking with established dealers offering some variation of certified preowned. That way you know the car has been gone through and the leaking radiator isnt cigarette filled. Another great outlet are places like budget who sell thier rentals.
Possibly it's the way I drive, but every car I've had starts falling apart between 75-100k miles. So, if I'm buying used I dont want anything with more than 30-40k miles.
