Hello guys, after a terrible used car buying experience five years ago, I'm cautious not to repeat the same mistakes as I consider changing my car. Currently, I own a 2010 MERCEDES-BENZ c300, which has been challenging. Now, I'm contemplating buying a used 2018 Toyota Tacoma I found online, but I'm unsure, so I’m seeking your advice.
A friend recommended the seller, as he had a positive experience purchasing a used car from him. However, 2 days ago, the seller mentioned another buyer offering a higher price for the Tacoma. Despite having the money with me, the pressure he’s mounting makes me suspicious of his actions.
I seek your advice on how to make an informed decision. What areas should I inspect, and what questions can I ask the seller to ascertain the car's true condition? The car has slightly over 100,000 miles and it’s very neat. What other points do you suggest taking into consideration?
