Your decision to go for that Proton used car need not develop into something that you should start regretting about some time down the line. Though there is no specific buyers guide for used car purchases, you can surely do some basic homework before you set out to buy the vehicle and hopefully that should help you purchase the right vehicle.
The first rule to follow is to remain in control of the buying process and that is only possible when you do enough research and study about the model you wish to purchase. When you get to know everything possible about the vehicle, including its technical specifications, it becomes easy for you to discuss with the private seller or the dealer. That would also ensure that you do not end up paying more than required for that vehicle. You would also come to know about other aspects you should stress on such as the warranty assistance and any other safeguards so that you get some protection against any malfunction of the car once you have purchased it.
Another basic rule is to ensure you take along a good mechanic during the test drive so that any deficiencies in the car is spotted at that time and you do not end up buying something you end up regretting later on.
