Besides, there are a lot of decent second hand cars available in the market and people just have to find the right one. And that trend is bulking up as studies show that consumers are gearing more towards second hand cars these days.

According to a recent Cars.com survey, 32 percent of car shoppers who were thinking of buying a new car are now looking for a more affordable used car as a result of the economy. That’s up 5 percent from last October, when 27 percent of in-market shoppers said they would switch from buying new to buying used.

Certified pre-owned and used-car shopping activity continues to be strong on Cars.com, with consumer contact to dealers through the Cars.com website up 18 percent year-over-year for used cars, and more than double that for certified pre-owned cars.

“Consumers are still focused on cost-cutting, and one way to do that is to find a solid used car to help save on the depreciation costs that typically come with buying a new car,” said Cars.com Editor in Chief Patrick Olsen. “Manufacturer certified pre-owned programs also offer consumers a good value by giving them some of the benefits of a new car – extended warranties and certified inspections – but with the price of a used car.”

These days, not all people have the cash to buy a new car for their private transportation needs. Rather than buy a brand new vehicle, one can always turn to the classified ads and check out cars being offered for sale at manageable prices.

Here are some tips when checking out a potential second hand car for purchase:

1. Check the chassis. Have it lifted and check for oil leaks or chassis cracks. If possible have it the chassis washed so you can see possible areas for repair, if any.
2. Have a mechanic check the engine. Evaluate the running condition of the engine. Get a reliable mechanic to assess the engine so you can be aware if overhauls or some mechanical parts replacements may be needed.
3. Tap on the car body. If you hear a sound that seems to be padded, chances are this car has been repainted due to accidents. See how many areas are like that to see how many times the car may have been retouched.
4. Check the interiors. See if anything inside like the car seats, door sidings or the dashboard may need repairs.
5. Test Drive the car. This is the best part in making a decision. Drive the car without any noise on bumpy terrains. Observe for weird sounds like clunking and how the car overall stability. From here you can see if the car has good suspensions which may be expensive if you need to have them repaired.

There is nothing wrong with buying a second hand car. Just be aware of defects and do an extensive check on it to see if it is indeed worth the money you will be shelling out.
