Top 5 Things to Look for on Used Cars Under $10,000 There are many things to look for when shopping for a used vehicle in the $10,000 price range. Some of the top things to look for are the car's ownership history, the service records, it's current condition, information about the selling dealer, and whether or not it's a good deal! Some people only focus on the numbers which is a dangerous thing to do. Buying the cheapest car within 500 miles seems like a win...until you find out it has been in 3 accidents, 2 crime scenes, and had the nick name Rusty Salvage by it's previous owner. Let's take a closer look at the top five. The History of the Car Has this used car been wrecked? How many previous owners did this car have? What region of the US is the car from? Is the title clean (not rebuilt, salvage, flooded, etc)? These are the basic questions you must have answers to before wasting your time on a vehicle that you consider being a good deal. You can find answers to these questions by studying the CarFax Vehicle History Reports that are on each vehicle listing on the Dan Cummins website. We provide this information free of charge and the report is the FULL History Report. CarFax is the most trusted document that details used car history. There are other companies that provide information such as AutoCheck but this is not as reputable or reliable method to do your homework. Knowing the history of used cars under $10,000 is very important. Service Records Proof Proof Proof. Seeing is believing and we want you to see as much evidence and documentation as possible to help you make the right decision about a car. We inspect and service our vehicles and often times the previous owner has given us service records on the vehicle that that traded in to us. This is really important on a used car under $10,000. Usually these cars have been on the road for years and their maintenance history is vital to know. If there is no additional documentation in the used car, then you can also consult the CarFax to see maintenance history. Some cars will even be given the "Regular Oil Changes" badge on the vehicle history report. If I'm spending under $10,000 for a car, this is info that I'd want to know! Vehicle Condition You can read a CarFax, examine the vehicle description online, study third party research on the model itself from websites like Edmunds but you'll never fully know the condition until you see it with your own eyes. We'll take the time to show you all 100 used cars under $10,000 if you like. They all are different. Some may have been garage kept. Many have never seen the inside of a garage. Others may smell like the Louis Vuitton store and others may smell like smoke. You won't know until you use your senses on the lot to discover what is right for you. Mechanically, speaking, we service and recondition the cars to get them road ready, but there are many other things that you have to experience for yourself. We are nothing more that guides at the dealership. We're not interesting in selling you anything but rather we want to help guide you through the purchase process by providing you as much information as we can. Should you want to get a second opinion and have the car inspected by a third party shop, we encourage it. We even have a 72 Hour Exchange Promise to allow you to change your mind and pick a different vehicle that is right for you. Always check the condition of used cars under $10,000.

I can remember seeing the AutoTrader magazines in grocery stores and everywhere else you could imagine with pages and pages of used cars for sale. There would be dealer ads, private party listings and more. Most of the ads had one picture, a few words highlighting the vehicle, and a phone number. My have things changed!

You've likely heard this part mentioned by mechanics and car enthusiasts, but we wouldn't blame you if you have no idea what the catalytic converter actually does. To put it simply, the "vehicle emissions control device" essentially takes the pollutants in your gas and converts them to less toxic pollutants. To get the desired result, the catalytic converter with catalyze a redox reaction, meaning the exhaust won’t be as damaging to the environment. In particular, the converter removes carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and hydrocarbons from the gas, helping prevent the development of poisonous gasses, smog and acid rain.
Unfortunately, it's not very easy to identify when this particular part isn't working. Mechanics are often required to remove the entire part to determine whether it's malfunctioning. Trouble accelerating could be a sign that the part is failing, as would a drop in fuel efficiency. If the problem gets too bad, the increased exhaust will prevent your engine from even running.
A broken catalytic converter could be attributed to the use of lead gasoline, as well as over-use of fuel additives. A failing exhaust valve or "fouled plugs" (which cause all unburned fuel to overheat the part) could also be attributed to a catalytic converter's demise.
If replacement of the part is covered by warranty, you'll want to get down to a mechanic as soon as possible. The positive? It's a relatively common repair, and CarMD listed it as the second-most common fix among used cars. The negative? It's going to set you back financially, as the part is estimated to cost around $1,150.
The fourth-most common repair for used cars, both of these parts are essential in igniting the fuel. The coil, sitting in the ignition system, takes the battery's low voltage and transform it into thousands of volts of electricity. This is then sent to the spark plug, where an electric spark helps ignite the fuel. When you hear a car commended for it's excellent "electrical performance," there's a good chance that the spark plugs (and, vicariously, the ignition coils) are doing their job.
If your ignition coils are failing, there will be an assortment of warning signs. If you notice that your car is backfiring, this likely means that unused, non-ignited fuel is being pushed through the exhaust system. You may find that your vehicle is having issues starting, the vehicle is stalling, or the engine is misfiring. Similar to the other issues on this list, you may find that your fuel economy is also diminishing.
The symptoms of a dying spark plug are pretty similar. If you notice your engine is either vibrating or letting out an odd noise while you're idling, that could certainly be a sign. A lack of a spark could also prevent your engine from even starting, and it could also make your car stall. You may also notice an issue with acceleration, as well as a surging engine (when the vehicle jerks around or starts and stops frequently). Of course, a bad spark plug will also lead to you wasting plenty of money on unused gas.
If you find yourself needing to replace the two parts, expect to drop at least $400. Without the ignition coils or spark plugs, it's doubtful that you'll even make it out of your driveway.
This part isn't as popular as those mentioned above, but it's just as (if not more) important. The fuel injector serves as the main delivery system for fuel used in the engine, replacing the function of carburetors. While the previous part would rely on a suction from the intake air to draw fuel into the airstream, a fuel injector instead distributes a fuel-air mixture into the cylinder, allowing for a more precise measurement of fuel. This can help improve power and fuel efficiency.
A bad fuel injector has some unique indications that it's not working properly. If the part is malfunctioning, your engine will be receiving an irregular amount of fuel. This will mean the engine's power will fluctuate, as opposed to a smooth and gradual ride. You may also notice the engine misfiring or an awkward idle, as well as decreased fuel efficiency. If the part has a small crack, you may see some leaking fuel, as well.
Repairing a fuel injector isn't as common as the fixes listed above, but it's still something to look out for, as the CarMD report ranked it tenth among used car fixes. If you have to replace the part, it's going to cost you around $550.
We don't want you to panic and anticipate having a $1000-plus bill. There are plenty of instances where a buyer had absolutely no issues with their used vehicle. However, it's always a good idea to be prepared, and you should now have a better understanding of what to expect and what to look out for.
If you are in the market for a used car, head down to Dan Cummins used dealership. Their lot of used vehicles are all operating in tip-top shape, and you'll be thrilled with their variety.
