Thus, what is the best way to obtain your 'right' vehicle at the best possible price? While some folks are 'made of money', most of us need to determine a budget for our purchase and this is no different for buying a 1980 datsun 210 or car or truck or SUV. Determine next what car(s) or truck(s) or SUV(s) will satisfy your needs while remaining within your budget. What we mean by 'needs' are, for example, the kind of mileage the vehicle gets; or, how much storage is has in the trunk or bed. You will want to 'attack' the purchase of a used car, SUV or truck differently than attacking the purchase of a new vehicle. We will touch on both a little later. Be a shrewd consumer and contact your bank, savings and loan or federal credit union to arrange for your necessary financing prior to getting into negotiations for that 1980 datsun 210, truck, SUV or car.

You don't want to drive any significant distance for no good reason and tell them you are driving x miles.

A pre-owned 1980 datsun 210 or pre-owned car or pre-owned truck sets up a completely different group of things to think about and ways to approach the acquisition. As a general statement, the purchase of a used 1980 datsun 210, truck, car or SUV will happen one of four ways: (1) the used car lot of an established new car dealership; (2) through a private party which is advertising the sale of the vehicle; (3) a used car lot disassociated with any new car dealership; (4) the national rental companies selling their cars. If you are going to purchase the vehicle from a stand-along used car lot, check out their reputation for honesty and fair dealings through the Better Business Bureau. New car dealerships with a resale could be a more conservative place to make the purchase of the 1980 datsun 210, truck, SUV or car as often the cars come in as part of the new sale and these dealerships often offer a warranty as to the condition of the vehicle. Again reputation is an important matter, as well. Buying from a private party has both the most potential advantage and potentially the greatest downside. The advantage - no mark-up for a retailer. The disadvantage - someone could be unloading their 'lemon'. So, always, have the vehicle checked out by a reputable mechanic before buying it. We like buying a vehicle from the sales lot of a national rent-a-car agency whether it is a car, truck, SUV or 1980 datsun 210. They are well maintained and generally not more than a year or two old. You don't necessarily get any 'steals' but the car should be in great mechanical shape.
