When ever you purchase a new car you will usually lose money just as soon as you buy it because as soon as it rolls of the forecourt its no longer new, even with just a few miles on the clock. A lot of people would rather buy a used car instead thinking that they are saving this initial loss through depreciation. After all, with some real searching it is possible to find a really good deal on a used car.

One place you might find a really good deal on a cheap car is to look into bank repossessed cars. These are cars that the bank has taken back because someone wasn’t able to keep making the payments. These cars are usually in pretty good shape, even if they haven’t been cleaned up. the bank will want to get as much as they can out of these cars, but with some haggling they will usually settle on a price near what they have to have to break even on the defaulted loan, after all they are a bank and not a car dealer.

The cars that a bank has repossessed depend a lot on where the bank is located and if they are a small town bank or a larger bank. Even though all types of cars are liable to be repossessed at one time or another you will naturally find a larger selection at a large bank, although they may have a repo department that deals every day in repos from several branches. Even the small banks are worth checking though as our small local credit union usually has one or two for sale.

If you buy a car from a bank you will not be able to trade in your old car or get any special incentives like you would on a new car, but the money that you save may make it a really good deal. Who knows, being a bank, they may offer you financing on your new car.

If you don’t have much money to spend on a new car than these are the places you should look at:

Social Network: A lot of people underestimate the power of their own social network. You should let  everyone in your social network know that you want to buy a cheap car and what your budget is.

Repair Shops: When people bring their older car to the garage or repair shop they don’t want to pay too much for the repairs anymore. When the bill of the repairs is too high they will often leave their car on the driveway of the repair shop. If you are interested in buying these cars you often only have to pay for the repairs.

If you found a car that you are really interested in than you should always let it inspect by a professional mechanic. Although this will cost you $75 for the inspection, it could save you from making a bad deal.
