Also check automobile magazines, newspaper articles and website reviews for information about that model.
Thirdly go to your own car mechanic and inqu ire about this model. You are a customer, and they should be willing to share this information with you. Does your mechanic see a pattern in the repairs for the model you''re thinking of buying?
Fourthly leave your name and phone number with your mechanic and ask them to give your name and phone number to an owner of the model which you would like to buy. It is important to talk directly to owners of the car model to see if they are satisfied. Be sure to ask a current owner if the car is expensive to maintain or if it''s about average.
