In this day and age a car is more of a necessity than a want. With the new models of cars coming into the market each day it is difficult to choose a car. If you have a big family, maybe used Kia Sedona is suitable for you. Besides the price is relatively affordable, Kia Sedona can accommodate seven to nine passengers depending on the model that you choose.

The Kia Sportage is a crossover vehicle that has both options for all-wheel drive and front wheel drive. There are two engines; the base model is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, 140 horsepower engine, with 136 pounds per feet of torque. Buying a used car does make sense if your budget is tight, but it does not always mean that you will be saving money when you buy a used car. If you do not get one which is in good condition, you could end up spending on new parts and paying mechanics to get a few things fixed and changed.

Don't buy a car in the rain, the bodywork always looks better when it's wet, plus, the chances are you will forget to check something by rushing to get out of the rain. Stand at the front, or the back of the car, and look along the body line. You will be able to see if it has had anybody damage as the light reflecting off the side of the car will show the dents or replaced panels.

It is always suggested to consider following points before buying any used car.

•#Check The Compression of the Engine

•#Determine The Warranty Time

•#Ask For a Cold Start

•#Open the Oil Cap

•#Know The Loan Value On The Car

•#Be Sure That The Vehicle's Body Is Straight

•#Check For Water and Flood Damage

•#Look Under the Vehicle

•#Check The Odometer

•#Have Your Mechanic Inspect The Vehicle BEFORE You Buy It?

If you follow these rules when buying a used car you won’t go far wrong. If you can't be bothered to go through the hassle, and then buy your car from a trader, he or she will have already done all these checks to cover himself before he or she purchases the car. I would not buy a car without doing these checks first.
