Advice on buying used cars

I’ll need to buy a car pretty soon, most likely a used car, but I’ve never done it before and I really don’t know too much about how it works and what I need to look for.

Which cars are good to buy used? I’m mainly looking for reliability, especially in the long run. What should I ask the salesperson when I’m at the dealership, and what should I look for in the car (like mileage etc.) and during the test drive?

Also, to get a loan, do you need a good and extensive credit history? Or should anyone be able to get it?

Are there websites that can give me more information?

Thanks.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think if you are buying a used car then you must checkout the condition of engine, get it done by some expert if you don't have much knowledge about it.Regarding loan than loan on used car loan is available but it depends on the papers of the car you need to gather all the papers of the car and as far as your credit history is concerned it is ok if is not too good because car loan is secured loan if you don't pay the instalments they will take your car.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
