OK.
i agree, u wanna test drive the car b4 u buy it. rite?
SO
wha if the car looks good, in good shape, n u like it, ur happy with it, u like all the features in it, everything about the car, like it was just made for you..n u r basically in lov with it.
BUT
there's one thing. only it feels like it has so many mileages, cuz it's so obvious to u that the owner is lying about reversing the metter. cuz the owner is telling' you the car's been on long drives few times before, but at same time they claim it has very low mileages.(very low)(?).

AND
you talk to the owner, about it. and they keep denying it.. (n keep saying' this is the actual mileages)n it's making you crazy..cuz this is not the first time you buying a car.........


==WHAT DO YOU DO THEN?????

BUY IT? (cuz u really lov it, and want it?)

OR, NOT? (cuz u feel like the owner is lying to you)

You may have seen the Tesla electric sportscar http://www.teslamotors.com

*

You may have even seen the T-Zero electric sports car http://www.acpropulsion.com/ACP_FAQs/FAQ_cars.htm

*

These two cars show that it is now possible to build electric cars that can out-accelerate a Ferrari, and go 250 - 350 miles on a single charge. But both these cars are very expensive.

*

So who else is working on electric cars?

*

Would you believe China? They have to work on EVs. There won't be enough oil to support China's future economic growth.

*

I drive an old electric vehicle. I also have friends with electric vehicles. Some of them have recently been able to buy some amazing, cutting-edge EV batteries from China - example:

*

*

These batteries are better, and cheaper than the ones in those $100,000+ sportscars above. If you look at the chart, you'll see they are as cheap as lead-acid batteries, and they hold up for 1100 charges, twice as many charges as the other LI-Ion batteries on the chart.

*

Now, look at this car:

*

http://www.milesautomotive.com/products_xs200.html

*

It's a Chinese electric car, which will be imported into the USA next year. The driving range is almost as good as those sports cars above. But it only costs $28500. And that price could get a lot cheaper.

Unless you want to be stuck with huge repair bills and a car that you cannot sell, I would find another one. The best place to find a good reliable car is at a new car dealership; and even then I would buy an extended warranty. I paid $1500 for mine, and it has saved me $8000 this year alone in towing, rental cars and repairs. This is because the engine, air-conditioning, and the engine cooling fans had to be replaced. I would never buy another used car without one. Hope this helps.

BUYER BEWARE! Anytime you buy a USED anything you buy it AS IS - if it breaks down on the way home you have no warranty - so I recommend you buy from a dealer or someone you know and trust - GOOD LUCK!@

Buy it if u really like it and is worth buying. The sellers are always going to lie about something. U don't expect them to tell u about every bump and scratch they had and tinkered with.



If it is good go ahead. Happy driving........
