www.vehix.com (http://www.vehix.com - broken link) rolls them all into one giant car dealer where you can find exactly what you want at the best price. www.autotrader.com is another one but Vehix worked for me.

And I know many sites with thousands of listings. Do not trust such ads. Where in Philadelphia is selling used cars? I want to go to the place and to test the car and talking to the dealer.
I do not want to offer mа а car only vendor to take a commission.

Write only if you bought a second hand car from Philadelphia and you're happy or you know someone who bought it.

What should I look when buying a second hand car?
What should pay attention to?

Give me tips!

I've bought used cars from Chapman Ford on Roosevelt Blvd, Faulkner Mazda also on Roosevelt Blvd and even Reedman's in Langhorne and I was very satisfied with the experiences. I've also heard good things about Sloane Honda at Haldeman and Bustleton (they may have changed their name again).

When buying a used car make sure you get at least a 30 day bumper to bumper warranty and check out Consumer's Reports for their reviews. Once you decide on a car hire a mechanic to come with you to check it out. Some dealers will even allow you to take it to your mechanic for inspection. While you're on the lot check for uneven tire wear, smoke from the tailpipe, engine knock, different paint shades and discolored carpeting. This could mean the car was in water.

You may want to also ask the question on the Automotive forum as well.

Most of the cars on Vehix are advertised by dealers and come with a carfax report. When you find the model, year, color etc that you are looking for, call the dealer to make sure they still have it in stock and go look at it. No need to be afraid.
