8. Always have a Used Car Checked by a Mechanic

If your first car purchase is going to be a used car, always have it checked by a mechanic before closing the deal. Unless you are buying the car from a parent or sibling, this will not only help protect against undeclared issues with the vehicle, but it will also help find potentially big problems with the automobile that the current owner may not know about. Even if you decide to complete the purchase of the automobile, knowing what is wrong with the vehicle ahead of time will help consumers make smart decisions with knowing how to budget for upcoming repairs or maintenance tasks that might go unknown until they become big issues.
